More on Mandatory Spanish

I posted on mandatory Spanish classes the other day. Kimsch has a lot more at Musing Minds.

Here is an excerpt:

I understand that there are quite a few Spanish speakers in Florida. I understand that some children have parents/others in their household who speak only Spanish or speak only minimal English. But how does teaching all children Spanish help this? What about immigrants from Japan, Germany, France, Romania, India, etc? Why should Spanish be the mandated language in a country where most people speak English?
