... Latin used to be like that but we abandoned it long ago. Now english [sic] is taking it's place ....

Then why won't you learn it?

 

[Unkotare]

...

A multitude of languages, as in the tower of babel, leads to division and lawlessness. ......

Nonsense.

I'm not saying that everyone who isn't bilingual is a racist. But there is a large segment in this country who is resistant to anything they deem as "unAmerican" which includes folks who don't like want their kids learning Spanish in school because it isn't "American ".

In other countries, they call that patriotism. But in america you libs call it racism.

No. Educating yourself and learning another language doesn't make you any less American.

If you have legal immigrants in your school system you have to learn them English and help them to "integrate" (when it's possible)

Learn them english?? HAHAHA. On of the great yogi-isms.

Ops sorry
I used "learn" instead of "teach"
My bad!

Learning another language is not education. If you want to educate yourself get a college textbook for a STEM subject.

Only someone with no idea what education is would post such nonsense.

Why do we let any of these savages come to america?. They destroy our schools, and hospitals, and welfare system. All one billion africans would love to come here and go on welfare and live off the white man.

85 languages spoken in Buffalo schools as 'New Americans' enter classrooms - The Buffalo News

nov 27 2016 The two young Somali sisters sat at a table in the central registration center signing up for what would become their next big challenge in their journey to America – school.

They came to enroll in the Buffalo Public Schools at an old building on Ash Street, an Ellis Island of sorts for thousands of immigrants and refugees entering an education system that has struggled over the years to keep up with their growing numbers.

Many show up speaking no English. Others may have had little formal education in their home countries. Most encounter vast cultural differences.

The City of Buffalo has taken in thousands of immigrants and refugees in recent years, and it’s reflected in many of its schools. More than 85 different languages are spoken throughout the district, but that number can change by the day.

That's what the Indians said when the white devil came here...

So I'm only half devil, I knew there was something wrong with my country ass.

Does anyone remember the story of the Tower of Babel? Those that fail to learn from history are bound to repeat it.

There have been more languages than that spoken in Los Angeles schools for decades. They haven't failed yet.

But at what cost? We have the same language problem is South Florida and it has been an expensive problem for the tax payer.
They may not have failed yet, but it is only a matter of time.

We are one of the few countries that isn't bilingual. Most people in Asia and Africa and in some parts of Europe are bilingual. It would be nice if our future generation is fluent in other languages than English.

Most Europeans are are bilingual, and their second language is English.

Looks like America is inching up to Europe. Soon English will be the second language in America as well.

No it won't. Relax.

But when immigrants refuse to learn English that makes them somehow more American.

Who said anything about immigrants refusing to speak English? Immigrants should learn English especially if they plan on becoming a citizen. But Americans picking up a second language should be encouraged as well.

BS. It's a waste of time for 99% of americans. We should encourage people to study math and physics college textbooks.

Anyone planning on going to another country should at least have a working knowledge of the language of that country.

If the second language is taught k-12, there will be no need to learn it in college. Many countries require children to learn another language soon as they step foot in school. Children before 8 can learn up to 5 languages.

Parents and caregivers can fight it if they wish.

"Up to"? Where did you hear of some cut-off number and age?
