All this bill does is fund programs to promote the teaching of foreign languages
(Arabic, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Russian, and languages in the Indic,
Iranian, and Turkic language families.) that the Government believes are of future importance but are under represented.

Given the global nature of the current and future economies, you'd think that this would be a prudent measure to help shore up an eroding leadership position.

I would think the school system would have some freedom as to how they really would implement as an elective vs required class. Right now all we know is that the Government is going to force little Johnny to worship Allah, because you linked off Drudge.
