Around here, in order to graduate from a public high school, kids take spanish in elementary school and are required to take a minimum of 2 years of a foreign language in high school. 3 years in our district if they want to earn the Distinguished Program degree. Not sure how fluent that makes them, as like any other subject, retention is up to the course taker... but the requirement to learn a language is already there... before Obama ever got to their kids....
Maybe I'm missing the "fear" parents have about their kids learning a language...??
