    Remember we all spoke 1 language until god was offended by the Tower of Babel. Speaking any other language but English, which Jesus used to write the Bible, is unchristian.

    Yeah, learning Mandarin is wonderful and all that, but the fact is Spanish is the second-most popular language in the world (by a lot), is spoken in far more countries, and, also important, countries that neighbor the U.S. And it's far easier than Mandarin (if the student gets discouraged and gives up, what's the point?).

    Not just English, but thee-and-thou King James English.

    I wasn't advocating for mandating that anyone be forced to learn Mandarin. I was the one saying that those kinds of decisions shouldn't be mandated, such as the idea that we should have a nationwide initiative regading Spanish.

    I simply said that I am guessing (and I may turn out to be wrong) that knowing Mandarin -- regardless of the dificulty in learning it -- is going to prove more beneficial to the future success of a kid today than knowing Spanish will.

    Carolyn Maloney wore a dress with a sash that said equal rights for women and nobody gave a shit
    We’re still talking about AOC’s dress
    I’d call that a success

    She succeeded in pissing off Republicans, which seems to be what she cares about most. I'm curious as to what type of services she's providing for her constituents. She must be doing something correctly because she won a second term.
