This Makes Me Sick

via Drudge

When is the pandering and the entitling and the nannying going to stop? My guess? Never. How in the world did immigrants (legal ones at that) somehow manage to come to America from places like Italy, China, Poland - places where English is not the language, and survive? How did they do it? They did not get (and still don't) bi-lingual government documents or bi-lingual lessons. They had to go to school with the English speaking kids and, heaven forbid, learn or get left behind. What a notion.

Of course, thinking that today makes me a racist, a xenophobe and cold-hearted to boot.

The state of public schools in this country is abhorrent, but somehow, I do not believe that using Mexican-approved curricula is going to make it better. Or help the kids it's supposed to. It's only going to reinforce the notion that one need not learn English to be successful in the U.S. Sheer stupidity!
