Jan (a previous commenter) said, "Why would our scholls require fewer languages than Greece, when we are the ones who advertise ourselves as a successful "melting pot" of cultures."

Maybe that has something to do with us being a successful melting pot, eh?

A melting pot must have a common way to communicate, otherwise everyone will segregate themselves and it ceases to be a melting pot. I have no problem teaching other languages, but english SHOULD be the OFFICIAL language of this country. Sorry, but I find it rather ridiculous that anyone would have a problem with that.
