Should we have a class called “ASSIMILATE” in high schools for foreigners?

[Jitss617]

it would teach American exceptionalism,
How the American economy works capitalism .
Home economics
Learn how to speak English negotiate wages.
How to go back to your country if you don’t like us ?
What do you think?

What American exceptionalism?

You either believe in freedom and liberty or you shyt all over it forcing people to conform and subjugate.

American exceptionalism is real. But should also be changed.

The United States did come about in a different way and achieved different heights because of that. There was no ancient culture to shape our nation as much as the American Revolution and the subsequent goal to create something free and new.

There is also a "frontier spirit" part to our culture. We built a nation from wilderness. Granted, we did it at the expense of the native populations. But we have a remaining spirit of that expansion that has been both a benefit and a curse.

But we also need to learn to mind our own business. We are suffering the consequences of our meddling in the affairs of sovereign states during the last century. This idea that "We know what is best for others" is part of the problem. The other part, and the worst, is that we spent decades shaping other nations for our own benefit, and not theirs.

Immigrant students are assimilating just as those who came before them did.

Exactly.....the Know Nothings are just whining the same they did well over 150 years ago.

No. A class like that should not be taught as it would serve no purpose.

 

[G.T.]

I think, Jits...you're the guy who has the very least capability of reading and writing on this site. So the question becomes...

why dont YOU fuckin assimilate, before your nose is up the next guy's ass worrying about him.

Thats rhetorical.

No. The third generation is fully assimilated. You want to take high schoolers that traditionally know everything about everything and are usually deaf and make that happen as quickly as possible. They can't hear things like.........mow the lawn, clean your room, take out the trash,you will not walk out of this house wearing that, and, no, you may not date the 24 year old. It's going to happen soon enough.
