What's wrong with being bilingual?
 

 Because this is America, not Mexico. If you are going to come here, then at least learn our goddamn language.


So what if us bilingual people choose to speak another language cut the crap and stop being jealous most of the time they are smarter than you idiots! Anybody who can fluently speak any other language is smart! DON'T HATE!

Thats a load of crap. You can speak German and still be stupid.

The predominant language in the world is english, not spanish. You can go to almost any country and find people that speak english. Of course Obama isn't going to say " Your child has to speak spanish." In order for him to enforce his agenda, he has to be subtle. Liberals want America to be more like Europe instead of being proud of their country.

key word should. Not must. He was giving a suggestion to parents, not enforcing a curriculum change.

I was just about to say that.

The way I view it, Obama just wants the American youth to be more opened to other cultures and languages. There is nothing wrong with being bilingual.

You do know what bilingual means?

And if every single person in the U.S. spoke English it would still make the most sense to learn Spanish.

I appreciate and respect people that are bilingual. I'd love to be. however we should not be obliged to learn another language JUST to make the fucking immigrants feel comfortable...OMG i really need to just stop there. fucking obama.....*seethes*

There is no obligation and nobody (including Obama) is forcing you to learn another language. The facts are that Spanish speakers are on the rise and communication needs to occur.

As much as I don't want to stray from English, the United States is a country founded on immigrants and prides itself in that. Reality is that Spanish-speakers are on the rise dramatically, so it would only be natural to find a middle ground. This doesn't mean to not speak English or to have the American tongue be Spanish.
Very true but there is one huge difference between past immigrants and todays, the past ones who came over in boats they came here to help create this country with blood and sweat, these immigrants today have killed United States citizens, thats the difference

The question then is where and when do you draw the line between past and newer? Not every immigrant that came in was involved in founding the country.

yea but you guys should get with the times. the spanish population in this country is the 2nd largest compared to the white population. if children learned how to speak spanish then they will have many more job oppourtunitues
No man this aint no race issue and here's the proof http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOLGYp1_k6Q

exactly. today at work told me that i have to learn spanish. i said, no, i learned german in school. why learn spanish. even my bf and my friend who is a legal immigrant from mexico think that american is what should be what is spoken in the public in america. at home, you can use the language of your choice. but dont come to my country and expect ME to learn your language. now, if i was going to mexico to live, i would learn spanish because that is the customary thing to do.
