Being monolingual = dumb now?
no, but knowing more than one language could do nothing but help.

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.
Well my choice was French or Spanish.  I mean, not really a choice tbh.
indeed. i took french, worst mistake ever. ever.

thats not it at all. the people in the article are perfectly willing to learn a foreign language, its just that they're racists and think everybody is illegal, and want to make it harder for them to live here by not being able to speak spanish.

Ah, I see. So, we are to accommodate them, when clearly they know that they are going into a country that speaks English without learning that? Makes sense. In Bizarro Land. I'm sorry, but if I wanted to move to say Germany, I had damn well better learn German. It's stupid for a whole country to learn to speak English solely for me.

this is what I was originally getting at.  To say something like proves no knowledge of the origin of Texas, or the people that were behind it.  A lot brown.
Ok, I'll give you that.

I spent 5 years at Fort Hood.  Learned a lot about cen tex.  I loved the shit out of Austin and SA, but thats about it.  If I were a texan, Id be living in San Antonio.  Partied out there a lot.  I hated it when I first got there but I miss the shit out of that place now.   Except for your sports teams, I hate texas sports. sorry.
Yes, SA is awesome. And come on... Go SPURS!

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.
Pft, German works too.

And again no one actually read the article properly.

It clearly says alternative languages are allowed, the reason it's Spanish mostly is because it's probably easier for them to find someone who teaches it. Big deal.

I had to learn a second language throughout all my compulsary education, I don't remember it at all but it didn't exactly do any harm.

If you all want the choice so much lobby your school to find a teacher who teaches a language you do want to learn.
