Why all those Republicans would be happier in France

Mais non! French in uproar over English in the classroom. - CSMonitor.com:
"But now the government is proposing a bill that would allow some classes to be taught in a foreign language, chiefly English, at public universities – reigniting the country's frequent, ongoing debate about the proper use of its constitutionally enshrined native tongue, as critics say the new measure would undermine the French language's place as a defining element of France's national identity and cultural stature."
Of course the native tongue in question is, you know, French. But you can't have everything.
