ENGLISH CREATED AND PRESERVES AMERICA

The fastest way to destroy America: Add multiple languages in order to fracture the nation’s citizens into tense, confused and separated groups that can’t understand each other.

Nancy Hamilton gives her thoughts on the invasion in New Jersey. She said, “As illegal aliens enter the U.S. in hordes, streaming across our border with Mexico, schools here in New Jersey -- including public schools -- are teaching Spanish to students in grades one through eight. I believe that the intent and implications of this instruction is potentially harmful to our survival as a nation, and that taxpayers should speak up against it.�

The New Jersey Department of Education discusses foreign language instruction on its website by pointing out that New Jersey is “. . . a state with over 100 ethnic groups . . . where more than 150 different languages are spoken." The suggestion is that these facts about the state have some relevance to the foreign language instruction.

“Who cares about this ethnic diversity?� Hamilton asked. “We are a sovereign nation with one national language, English. If you come to live here, you should have enough respect for our country that you will want to adapt to our ways and learn our language. Otherwise, why would you come to live here, if you don't want to live as an American?�

Hamilton said, “Unfortunately, we know that many of the illegals come here to take advantage of our system. They use our health care, welfare benefits, and schools without paying taxes. They are draining our resources. They're in our jails, some for having committed heinous crimes.�

“Yet we are requiring our youngsters to learn Spanish, the language spoken by these illegals overrunning the country,� Hamilton. “This is akin to asking our kids to assimilate to the foreigners. It's absurd. Further, it promotes the idea that this instruction is a viable solution to the problem we face with the swelling numbers of Hispanics in the U.S., a large number of whom are illegal aliens. After all, whom are these kids supposed to be speaking Spanish with?�

Then one wonders, what is so important about having these kids -- some so young that they can hardly read English -- learn a foreign language? How about having the schools focus their attention on the basics: English, math, science, history? In fact, we know that our students have been falling behind students of other nations in math and science skills, posing a serious threat for the country. Can we really allow the schools to divert attention away from the basics?

A perfect example occurred in Denver Public Schools this spring. According to the Rocky Mountain News, May 16, 2005, ‘What Happened?’â€â€
