People, this has got to stop. Nip it in the bud, so to speak. This is the United States of America, not Mexico North. Our Founding Fathers wrote all of our legal documents, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, etc., in English, not Spanish. Why are this nation's ideals and principles being stripped away with nothing to slow them down? Why are we seeing things like this happening in Oregon right now:

Some Oregon high schools are adopting Mexico's public school curriculum to help educate Spanish-speaking students with textbooks, an online Web site, DVDs and CDs provided free by Mexico to teach math, science and even U.S. history.

The Oregon Department of Education and Mexico's Secretariat of Public Education are discussing aligning their curricula so courses will be valid in both countries.

I suppose we are supposed to be grateful that Mexico is sending this teaching material up her so the students can learn properly? How is this going to teach these children to assimilate into the great melting pot that is our nation? It won't. But wait! I thought their resources in Mexico for education were total crap. What does the story say about that?

"The availability of resources is astounding," said Burk, who flew to Mexico with Oregon curriculum officials in August to discuss making equivalency standards official. "We're able to serve the students so much better if we're working together."

Oh, yeah? Then send them home to get the excellent education that these materials will deliver. Then come and talk to us about working in our country legally. Believe me, you'd get a much better reception that way.
