Nothing, but again, at a PUBLIC school any sort of additional cultural thing should be

1) VOLUNTARY
2) Does not interfere with day to day activity for folks that do not wish to participate.
3) paid by public dollars only AFTER there is enough dollars going into normal school programs OR paid by donations from someone (preferably not a foreign government with strings attached)

So,
*The issue with the CV language program was #1.
*The issue with the May 5 celebration in the school with the old navy flag tshirt controversy was #2
*And a general problem with public schools in CA is #3.

I like this.

Actually, I would be more than happy if the public schools could manage to teach our kids English. All of them. Spelling, syntax, punctuation, sentence structure…I’m getting excited just thinking about it.

I’d like to say that I come to Pigg’s because of the scintillating discourse. In fact, it’s because I need my regular fix of well-stated opinions, written in properly structured and punctuated sentences, and I know I will always find it here.
