Gingrich may be fighting a losing battle. My friend from Mexico jokingly says "you gringos would do well to teach your children and grandchildren how to speak Spanish in order to get by in the new world".
It would seem to be a good idea to require Spanish language classes in our schools since there are already sections of the country where it is the primary language spoken. I don't know how far we can go with the other languages since there are so many of them.
