Great article. It’s just so nuts that people think it’s ‘OK’ to come to a country to live and not learn the language. I can’t think of another country on earth that allows such nonsense. Go to Holland and demand your kids be taught in English rather than Dutch. Enjoy the isolation. Oh and that is PERFECTLY fine.

If we are going to suddenly change languages, then I am demanding a retroactive change to German. It’s the largest ethnic group in America and I and my family had to learn English when we moved here when I was a child (like every other immigrant that came from Germany)

Enough is enough. It’s time to make English THE official language. Having multiple languages coexisting in one country rarely ends well. Ask the former Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia & the soon to be former Belgium how well that is working out for them.
