I think it's great for kids to learn another language and for other kids to keep their heritage by learning and speaking their parent's language.

My maternal grandmother is Polish and didn't teach her kids to speak Polish because of the same type of bull**** Mexicans go through now. She regrets it now because her language is a part of her and her own children can't even speak to her in her own country's tongue.

My kids are going to speak Spanish and English and I would love it if they learned even more languages. It's almost sad how small minded some people are here in such a global world. Are these people not aware most people in the world are bi- or even multi-lingual?
