You know what? Let's stop teaching kids English. Let's stop teaching kids Spanish and French and Russian and German and Mandarin; All of these languages have been around for ages. They’re not going anywhere. They’ll be fine.
Teach kids Latin. Teach kids Irish. Teach kids Navajo, Ainu, Saami, Krymchack. Teach kids the dying or dead languages so that they’re kept alive because regardless of where any of us are from, our past is riddled with beautiful, ancient languages and cultures that should not be lost, that deserve to be brought into the light and embraced for the wonders that they are. Everything we are leads back to these roots, so let’s teach kids to explore them and start digging.
