If they are in this country, they need to speak ENGLISH, period !

It is high time that the English language becomes our national language, if it doesn't, it is only a matter of time when Spanish or French will become it and then forced down our throats like a throne bush.

But that is precisely what they are trying to do at that school--learn English. English is learnt by immigrants but it does take time to learn a new language fluently. I don't see other languages posing that kind of a threat. That was once said often about German posing such a threat but it never happened and then, as now, there was no official language.
