Should we require everyone who is resident in America to speak English? What about citizens? What services should we offer to make that happen?
Why are some communities less likely to learn/speak English than others? Why are Americans less likely to learn/speak multiple languages than other nationalities? Is it possible that both are true for the same reasons???
Should taxes pay for English as a Second Language (ESL) classes? Should legal documents be translated? Should we have ESL charter schools?
Will facilitating the learning of English make America stronger or waste precious resources?
You tell me…
