Obama Wants American School Children Learning To Speak Chinese By 2020

[LoneLaugher]

There is a ROBUST industry for second language instruction in China

Learning it is basically a requirement for entry into institutions of higher learning.

Most Chinese kids learn English just for entrance exams

America lags behind the rest of the world when it comes to shit like this. That is due to the fact that we are lazy.....and then we cover up that laziness with arrogance.

^^^^ that.

Look for Comrade Mayor Bill DeBlasio of New York to madate this as he
pushes for Pre-Pre-K schools in NY...

I guess Obama is being practical as we will probably have the flag of China
flying over the WH as the USA will be under Chinese rule because the country went bankrupt
and we needed to sell the USA to China to pay off the debt.

 

[Syriusly]

Total insanity.


Obama wants 1 million Americans learning Chinese by 2020

Seems like a reasonable objective, most schools teach at least two foreign languages. Spanish and Mandarin would make the most sense for Americans to learn, but it would be great to have additional options- French- German- Korean- Japanese.

I wish it had been a more viable option for my child

yeah that is exactly the same reason American children have been taught French for most of the last 100 years.

What's wrong with that?

Learning a second language is good. Chinese is the language spoken by a substantial portion of the world and a country that is up and coming in the business world. Would make good sense to learn it.

This is to destroy all individuality and differences. That is Communism-—one way to think.

But, the real travesty is the time it takes to “learn” such an archaic system which destroys efficiency and has no connection to the Greatest literature and philosophy of all time.

There is a REASON that Western Civilization created Modern Science and the Age of Reason and the Renaissance and the US Declaration, Constitution and Federalist Papers—the most brilliant political documents in the history of man. Those concepts didn’t exist in the east at all.

Language and Words is what this is ALL ABOUT——He who controls the Words can control all the perceptions of the masses. Wasting time on Chinese takes away from the great books in Western Civilization and the greatest philosophy, theology in the history of the World. Nothing in the East is equivalent to the creative, brilliant Western culture which created Individualism and Individual Natural Rights from God.

The Christian Ethics is unique and a Western concept and Obama and the elites want it destroyed.

Yep- because Stevie knows that the Bible was written by Jesus in English........

Learning a second language is communism? Who'd've thunk?

I know- right?

 

[LoneLaugher]

Gee. I wonder if those of us who are not outraged by this news are all left wing extremists?

 

[HenryBHough]

Who knew ISIS did business in Chinese?

While I certainly encourage learning foreign languages, shouldn't we be helping people learn English first?

We are...

 

[Coyote]

Everyone should learn a second language - for some, that language will be English.

That is one giant, steaming pile of ignorant shit.

 

[Unkotare]

My question is, how many Chinese are mandated to learn English?

Almost all.

Typical of the Right, keep Americans dumb.

It has nothing to do with laziness.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

How about teaching kids English first
