Wow, isn't that special.My neighbor is Mormon and returned from his 2 year mission in Brazil a few months ago. Since he grew up in the US, in an English speaking family, he didn't speak a word of Portuguese.
Before he left on his mission, he did a multi-month, emersive course to learn Portuguese.
He didn't move to Brazil and expect Brazil to pay to teach him Portuguese.
This is the crux. Whether or not anyone is actually eaten by alligators, the promotion and celebration of that possibility is beneath even the low bar that we hold Trump to (and I think it is unquestionably and by some margin the lowest bar set for any president). The cruelty is the point. It's a feature, not a bug. It's strongman stuff. It's got nothing to do with law enforcement. And anyone who tolerates it or chuckles about it or - god forbid - defends it, is contributing to the cause of cruelty and strongman politics. Pick your side.You also very clearly understand that the President of the United States openly musing about human beings being eaten by alligators is grotesque.
Right, and just look at trumps track record when people claim that what he said is hypocritical and will not happen.A valid concern but separate issue from your claim that immigrants are going to be "fed" to alligators.
Look, I enjoy a little sarcasm/hyperbole as much as the next guy, but come on.... no detainees will be fed to alligators and if it happens, someone needs to be arrested, charged and put in to prison for a very long time.
He seems to like the picture of him trying to fuck the flag.
I'm all for states/school districts addressing the issue as they see fit. My wife works in a very small district, yet her teammate (one of only 2 first grade teachers) is bilingual, so Spanish speaking kids end up in her class.So these children who didn’t make the choice to move to the USA with their parents should take it upon themselves to just figure it out outside of school?
AmenI hope to God I am never in such an awful place in my life where I get an erection from parcing semantics on a message board about human beings being eaten by alligators. Please, God, somebody put a piece of lead right between my eyes before I ever stoop to that level.
You should consider taking a break from the board for a while. This is really, really poor, even by your standards. There are undoubtedly going to be plenty of people who are incarcerated in that prison camp who are perfectly legal citizens, or who did nothing wrong. The fact that you think it’s amusing or that you would play semantics about whose fault it is that they are eaten by gators, says a whole lot about you as a human being, and it’s really, really bad.
You are an for them addressing it, but the conversation started with your attempt to justify taking away the funding for it. Do I have that correct?I'm all for states/school districts addressing the issue as they see fit.

If states/districts choose not to, then immersion is also very effective.
Take away federal funding, yes.You are an for them addressing it, but the conversation started with your attempt to justify taking away the funding for it. Do I have that correct?
He was going on a mission, dipshit. He learned the language because it was vital to what he was doing -- which, incidentally, isn't really anything Brazil wants him to be doing but whatever, evangelizing ain't illegal. Anyway, the immersive course was surely paid for by the Mormon Church, probably structured by the Church, with everything proceeding in an organized manner.My neighbor is Mormon and returned from his 2 year mission in Brazil a few months ago.

And how do you propose that localities fund such things?Take away federal funding, yes.
They can fund it however they'd like, if they choose to have such a program. Like I said, my wife's school hires some bilingual teachers. Immersion in a language is also a great way to learn because it forces kids to learn.And how do you propose that localities fund such things?
That's up to the state/city/districts to figure out.Are you in favor of localities instituting income taxes? Raising property taxes? Money doesn't invent itself.
