Not so the USA which now believes having many languages and dialects and no common language is a good idea. They suspended a teacher in Texas for trying to have English spoken. Immigrants coming here have zero use for English, it's not their language they say, they don't even want to hear it.

And political correctness rules, kids must be given As for inferior work. It hurts their feelings otherwise.

This post is riddled with half-truths, anecdotes, and plain old wild-eyed exaggeration.
