Whose Limits?

I highly recommend heading over this way to find out where a considerable chunk of our education tax dollars are going here in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

After you've read the article (excellent work, Joe!), ask yourself this question: Do you think, even for a minute, that you as a Virginian would be able to waltz down to Mexico and demand that their schools teach your children in English, at their expense?

Then why is it acceptable for the opposite to hold true?

When will enough be enough?

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.

*How about a penny for each penny spent on teaching english to people who should be speaking english?

Let's say, a kid is born in america to foreign born parents, wouldn't that child be in school long enough to pick up english from friends and from teachers?

If we are being forced to have our kids learn a foreign language in elementary school (cause they supposedly can learn easily and faster than later in life), then why can't the same excuse be made for training english to the "spanish-speaking" kids?
