Speaking English in the U.S.

I've been in over a dozen countries and observed from that and from reading that to be well educated these days means to know English. Everywhere. With so much opportunity to learn English here, I consider it cruel to not to do everything possible to encourage people here to learn English. To not learn English is to guarantee a life with diminished opportunity. Everywhere. And especially here. I think people who support policies that do otherwise should be ashamed of themselves and should be shamed in the political arena by those who care for the well being of people.
