English as a Second Language???

[Glendora Christianson]

I'm sort of shocked, but I guess I'm not surprised. Right here in IOWA, the pubic schools seem to be more interested in teaching Mexican than they are English! I guess it doesn't matter that the Bible is printed in English!

Your Thoughts???

PS I'll bet the Catholic church is behind this!

Re: English as a Second Language???

Judging from some of the postings by the Unsaved Trash that frequent here, the schools should focus on the students mastering Godly English first, and then move onto lesser tongues after that. I suppose, though, that it might be useful to know how to speak Messican, so when you pass illegals on the street you can eavesdrop on their conversations. You never know what those people are up to!

Mother Glendora, having been brought up with English as my third language (forgive me Lord) I can assure you that it is a living Hell!

I don't understand why English isn't just the first language in every country in the world. Even before they learn to make clicking sounds or say "Jahwoll" or "Salutations distinguées" or whatever these furriners learn first.

Making it the second language in Iowa is... is... an ABOMINATION!

I gather we will be organizing a big Landover rally against this ridiculous idea? I'll notify Brother Abner, just to be sure.

I agree! The Catholics love using language as a stumbling block, like making their Bible and muttering all of their incantations in Latin.

And Mexican is one of those Latin American languages.

I long for the day when we are in heaven where everyone speaks English (and ONLY English).

I teach English as a Second language, or TEFL as they call it. I use the Bible as my main text. The commies learn something new everyday.

Re: English as a Second Language???

It is obvious that God gave a lot of thought immediately after the Babel incident as to what language His Favourite People would speak and thus in which language His Inerrant and Timeless Word would be expressed.

English, and as it later became, American is, as you’d expect, perfect!

Imagine the torture for a foreigner of “Though I coughed, I saw the saw saw thoroughly through the rough bough like dough.” or better still, the final test of speaking American, “That thin thing.” with its hard and soft “th” instead of the foreign, “Zat sin sing.”

God knew this was a good idea because it allows the Godly to distinguish joos, papist, muslins, dot-heads and other godless and untrustworthy lazy foreigners with their first words and thus avoid their cheating ways.

Homers too mince and mangle the words of American in their lisping way, giving adequate warning and an opportunity to gather stones.

Teach Messicant? Why? If they have anything worthwhile to say, they’ll say it in American.

I honestly think that schools really don't care about the educational welfare of these poor wetback kids. If you marginalize English as a mere second language, and teach to them in Spanish, what hopes will they have for their future? You can't get a good job without speaking English. The most they can hope for is trimming the hedges of a lawyer who went to school and learned in English!

That thin thing..

This is exactly what our Godly Border Patrol agents should make people read to determine whether they should be in this country.

Oh, great, they get yet another special privilege for their non-English-speaking lifestyle choice.

I'm confused. I thought that in Mexico they spoke Mexican. Spain is all the way over in Europe, so why speak Spanish? How many of our kids are going to go to Spain? I can understand teaching them a few words like taco and burrito, so they know which foods to avoid, but those are Mexican words, right?

Don't tell me I've had it backwards this whole time! I'll feel like a real dope if I'm wrong about this!

Re: English as a Second Language???

Disgusting.

The next thing you know, the secular government schools will be teaching heterosexuality as a second lifestyle choice.

I would complain at length, but I have to go vomit!!

Hey, don't blame us. We want nothing to do with public schools. We have enough trouble maintaining our illustrious (and expensive) private schools.

Re: English as a Second Language???

I can certainly relate to every one's frustrations on this topic. Things are getting out of hand here in New Zealand too. We bought this country a few hundred years ago fair and square from the colored native folk for a few barrels of whisky, some tobacco and a handful of shiny buttons. We then proceeded to help them by crushing out their cultish belief system and savage, simplistic language and gave them the gift of English so they could read the Bible.
But NOW the cheeky darkies are trying to revive their "native tongue". We even have to sing our beloved National Anthem (God Defend NZ) in both English AND colored-talk before sports matches, even though they're by far the minority. I don't care if they were here first, they should have thought about that before they sold their country, they're lucky we even let them stay. Who knows what the translation of our anthem really means? They could all be singing about going to KFC to spend their benefit cheques after the game for all we know.

Quit your whining! Our Lord Jesus Christ presented you Aussies with a golden opportunity to convert the savages and turn them into True Christians™. But is that what you did? No. You squandered our Lord's bounty, and now you insist on insulting Him further by spreading the devilish moko tattooing to all corners of the earth. You people make Jesus puke!
