why "forget" them? make them learn fucking english... or send them home.
why should my tax dollars support schools that not only suck, but are teaching kids in multiple languages because they refuse to assimilate?
if i move to france tomorrow because its a beautiful country and i really love it there... i would NEVER question whether or not i should learn french. seems pretty obvious and it would be the first order of business for me. i would do it for my own benefit and out of respect for my new hosts, where i am a guest. THE LAST THING i would do is start bitching about why they aren't doing more to accomodate ME. thats not their problem. my choice to be there... my choice to live there. my choice to work there... if i don't want to participate in any aspect of society and culture, refuse to assimilate or even speak the language... then i would hope they would deport me.
