New flash, Boston Globe discovers that kids of non-English-speaking immigrants tend to end up speaking English unless forced. My favorite part was when the author tried sneaking in the idea that it's a matter of national security: Immigrant parents struggle to keep their children bilingual. My daughter speaks a second language thanks to the tireless efforts of my wife to make it so, but I would never ask other tax payers to pay for that, nor would I jeopardize my own child's future with English mastery.
The children of immigrants assimilate. That's the way it is.
Quel horreur! C'est pas un gros surpris a moi que Le Globe prend ce position, mais la position est vraimeent stupide quand meme.
See, since the Globe thinks that immigrants shouldn't be forced to speaks English (Hmm, I wonder what language the ancestors of the Globe writers and editorialists spoke?), I won't translate what I just wrote.
