i told my wife yesterday that i refuse to let my son (due in 2 weeks) watch Diego or any kind of crap like that. close minded? yep. overly conservative and redneck? boy howdy!

I agree... I live in Texas and schools are trying to force that our kids learn Spanish. WTF! While I think having a second language is nice to have, but should NEVER be forced upon anyone.
If people want to enter our country they should learn our language and live by our rules. I have nothing but respect for anyone trying to get into the USA legally and trying to learn our language. People entering illegally and not do not wish to learn our language need to jump right back across the border, they are not welcome in my eyes. The first thing they did when entering the country was break a law... the last thing we need is more people breaking laws.
Do I expect anyone to speak my language when I travel internationally? No, I do my best to learn at least the basics for that country and carry a translator with me when I travel. Shouldn't we expect the same from people entering our country? Damn right we should...

Being multilingual is good for a child's brain development. There isn't anything wrong with it. I just wish our schools offered a better selection of languages. Too many of them offer only Spanish. It shouldn't be so hard to have a single language teacher that can do Spanish and French, for example, at the elementary school level. It's not like they are crafting essays.

I would like my little girl to learn Spanish. It makes more sense than any other language to know. Why? So she can be a highly successful business person and hire a bunch of low wage Illegals to fatten her wallet!*
*please note this is said entirely tongue in cheek and I am totally not serious, except for her actually learning a spearate language.

Duh. She wouldn't hire them - she would hire a "service company" run by someone who speaks perfect English and funnels the illegals. Teach her to be smart and use a proxy.

It's funny - neither I nor sharkboy said any of that. Maybe your box is too full of soap. I think I smell Lifebuoy.
