| Message | We think this should be optional as it's not an essential subject. We believe that students should be proficient in their own language first in addition to math, and then study language in college if they choose. |

| Message | So if it was regulated by local governments would you be willing to vote on this? Because I feel that this is an important issue for our kids. Because now colleges require at least some knowledge of a foreign language and high schools sometimes only give a year or two on this subject. Whereas in this bill kids will be brought up learning how to speak multiple languages. This will help them better understand other cultures other than their own as well. |
