    I really wish bilingual (and even trilingual) education become common in the future. It could benefit the country so much. Why stop with Spanish when you do more such as Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Mandarin and the various NA languages such as Cherokee and Navajo. You can do so much with them.

      I plan to eventually teach a bilingual Japanese and English class. Starting out, most of the students will probably be Judo and Karate students (and a few teachers of both).
      Right now, I'm working on learning Japanese.

    It's a language my god, all these uptight people crying cause they are mortified theres an effort to incorporate another language so they can enrich their child's cultural experience and ability. There is no official language of the united states. In Europe many people speak multiple languages and have a variety of positions with people of power because of it. It's not as if we are kicking out the english language. Its funny because I speak english and only english because of my own choice but I dont force others conform as I have. Jeez

      Well, obviously discriminating against someone simply because they aren't fluent in Spanish isn't right, especially if they have one or more children to support, but that doesn't mean it won't happen.

      Yes but you have to remember that the founding of modern day united states wasn't just Englishman but French and Spanish as well with the Spanish landing and establishing the oldest city in America, St. Augustine, Fl respectfully.
      The United States constitution allows all languages and cultures to be celebrated on this land which is what the founding fathers wanted a land for the people.
