I mean the whole school I went through kept nailing in our heads how much a foreign language would benefit you. I guess this went under the noses of whoever like teaching kids to balance a checkbook.

    English has 1.5B fluent speakers spread across the entire globe. Hardly an insular language.

    This is far more about discrimination - freezing migrant families out of public sector jobs and services, segregating English speakers from minority speakers, abolishing First Nations language and culture.

    Also very important to keep Americans from reading foreign language press.
