First, Mr. Brokaw was not saying HE did not want brown grandbabies. He is saying this is what Republicans in the community are saying. Because these are things THEY are worried about. As for the Hispanic population needing to learn English, I agree 110%. This is a problem in schools, this is a problem in society. If you are going to permanently relocate your life to another part of the world, learning the new language is a really good way to start your new life. With that said, I am also for schools having “English as a second language” classes so the young students can learn their new language. I also believe that all students in the US should know at least two languages before graduating high school. In Japan, all graduating high schoolers have already had several years of English language classes. These are not a bad thing. This is definitely one of those times where people are looking to get their panties in a wad.
