Cape May - Those of us who are immigrants or children of immigrants should be offended by the idea that Latino immigrants do not need to learn English. I read a spout that stated, "Does anyone seriously expect this group, (Spanish speaking people) to accept having to learn, for them, a foreign tongue?" My answer is an unequivocal yes. Lots of us have not only had to learn a language, but an entirely different alphabet. English, like it or not, has become the language of science and technology. If Chinese children in preschool, whose native language is Cantonese or Mandarin can learn English, so can they.
