i imagine it's easier for schools in texas to find spanish language teachers than it is to find japanese or finnish language teachers.

And I guess that the pupils would be more interested in a language that is spoken in their state and south of it (if they go to vacation there).

I don't know how your educational system works, some more informations could help us understand how the teachers are chosen, by who ,....

I am confused.  When I was in high school, we had to take a second language.  I took Spanish.  I failed it, but was no big deal since I played football.

So how is this something new?  I had to take it back in the early 90's.

They have to take Spanish, they don't have a choice in the matter as to what language they want to learn.

Or anything else for that matter. Spanish is boring. I didn't learn a damn thing when I took it.

I would have probably taken French if I had the choice. Then you can talk to chicks and they will be in love with you, lol.

from the article:

"Texas requires second language instruction for elementary and middle-school students, Star-Telegram reports. Most schools choose Spanish instruction, but other languages are acceptable for the policy."

Learning a second laguage ? wow, what an outrage. And to be honest, considering you are living next to a couple of million south americans who speak spanish, doesn't it make sense to learn that language ?
Chose a different school if you don't like the second language that is being offered, or lobby for additional french teachers. But saying that this is done to somehow appease mexicans is absurd.
