Thank you, jeffrey howard allen, for sharing these latest Dole-ful

tidings.



It's a mark of the ethno-/linguo-/racio-centric tendencies of the world

today that the primary candidate of the primary party of the primary

nation can out of one side of his mouth condemn efforts to help people who

_already know_ a language other than English (LOTE) while out of the other

side of his mouth encouraging efforts to make that same nation more

effective in the world economy/culture/polity, which would at a minimum

require that we increase our proficiency in LOTEs (presumably through

schooling, though he doesn't offer funding for it).



Haven't we wasted enough generations of multilingual immigrants to realize

that they and their children may hold the key to a new international

comity? I look forward to the day when the president of the U.S. speaks

to a world leader in a LOTE that is the first language of _both_ of

them. (Sort of like the day the current pope first spoke to the

president of Poland!)



So many languages, so few linguists, so little time! Languaculture rules!

Dole was on the News last night where he addressed the issue. His point

was about English being the means of economic potential for children in

school who would later need jobs. I was shocked to see him slamming

language programs. Another ethnocentric American. Guess that means that

if he becomes president he won't be speaking with diplomatic leaders of

other countries in their languages.

Best. Bye. Steve
