Actually, Spanish speaking teachers cost more. What other group of immigrants get everything tailored in such away? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Spanish isn't just an immigrant language though, it is aso spoken by an indigenous minority who were settled in Texas long before the arrival of the English speaking maority population. Plenty of other places with a similar level of cultural diversity andsmaler populations than Texas (Switzerland, Belgium, Wales, Ireland, for example) have had few problems in implemmenting a bilingual or multilingual educational policy and indeed celebrate their cultural diversity.

English should be the standard, not the exeption. How silly it is that the international language of commerce is English, and we don't even require it to be spoken and learned primarilly here in America. It's almost a double-standard!

Just because something works in Europe, dosen't mean it will fly in Texas. My father was from a Croatian family an they certainly weren't panderd to in such a way. Also, the illegal immigrants aren't the ones who are asked to foot the bill for all of this. They pay neither Social Security or Income Tax(federal/state) yet reep all of the benifits that those taxes make possible thereby making it less available for those who are legal and do pay taxes. Bottom line....We are a Nation of laws and we have every right to expect that those laws are observed. Apples and Oranges. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
