When I lived outside of Boston, spanish was force fed from age 12. I took 2 weeks of it before I changed schools.
In Maine, French was required from age 6, until last year. Now its spanish. Morons. So it is getting force fed.
All of the illegals there are from Quebec
If you want to have an interesting conversation, talk to a teacher at a public elementary school. Its really interesting to hear their observations on the kids who come in, not knowing english and watching them struggle and then finally get going with English.
I still subscribe to the Moat theory of border control.
