European countries along with Japan require their students to learn English as a secondary language. They learn it and are sometimes more fluent in it than Americans themselves.

While I would agree that people who come here should learn to speak, read and write English, lets not forget that this is a global economy and we in turn should learn the other languages as well. We as a society have simply become to stupid and ignorant to really notice the changes the world makes to accommodate our lack of education in comparison.
