I though I would throw this into the fire about the spanish language situation in this country.

A friend of mine of Mexican heritage visited me recently. She lives in Houston Texas, a large city with many spanish speaking "immigrants" (most illegal, according to her).

She told me that they are now hiring spanish speaking teachers for the school system to cater to the spanish speaking immigrants. Now they will have thier school classes taught entirely in spanish. Can you believe this?!

Instead of learning english while still retaining thier culture as Mr 5.0 stated, that has worked great for many years, now they will have school classes "catered" to thier language.

This will give them less incentive to learn english at all.

She mentioned that her grandparents were forced to learn english when they immigrated here. If they spoke spanish in school, they were reprimanded, and they soon learned english because they had to.

Not any more.....
