Do that not sound silly to you? It does to me. Ethnic heritage is something special. It tells you where you came from. The USA is a "melting pot". We bring all sorts of ethnic groups and nationalities together. It is wrong to force them to assimilate and become "American." They can become citizens and still love their heritage.

Yes be proud of your heritage..but your loyalty is to the United States...or leave.

Yes, an education is not necessary to live.
The American public shool system is for the children of tax paying citizens.

In many countries there isn't even an education system.

Illegal children don't deserve to go to public shcool since their parents don't pay their share of the cost by paying taxes.

Do you know how many American citizens do not pay taxes each year but still have their kids go to school?

Children are resourceful, they can learn English if they need to. I think learning a foreign language is great and should be started young but kids should be taught in english and all students should have to learn it. (how many of you didn't see that coming! ha ha)

Ever hear of homeschool?

Yes, learning a foreign language is good, but the spanish teacher cant teach english, math, social studies and science to the kids who come in and cant speak english. So they have to hire a bilingual teacher to not only try to teach these kids english, which they should have already known before they were old enough to go to public school. Schools already dont have a very big budget, but now they have to hire these bilingual teachers, and not just ones for english, whatever country that kid comes from, be it Iraq, Iran, India, China, Japan, Mexico, Brazil, ect. And these teachers require money because they dont work for free. So where does that school get the money? No, the government doesnt just approve them more money for their budget. They have to pull programs like soccer, or jazz band, or theatre so they can pay for these teachers. Then the parents get hired on by some douchebag that wants to save a few bucks, so there goes at least 1 job (assuming only 1 parent works, which isnt always the case) that an American could and should have....Then multiply that times a million or more and all of a sudden, we have a fucking problem. Is that hard to understand?

You can be proud of your heratage but don't come to America and expect to bring all of the ways of your home country with you.

If you like how things are done back home then go back.
