Agree. Learning a second (or third or fourth) language is a good thing. Not learning the language (and laws, customs, traditions and history) of one's newly adopted (without permission) country is not.

America loved Desi Arnaz. But Desi Arnaz did not demand that all the Little Rickies be educated in a foreign language. Desi was a success because he was judged on his substantial talent, not because condescending leftists believed he was inherently incapable of excellence and needed an affirmative action discount at public expense.
