NCAA Golf Tournament

Division I is playing this week in Columbus. Beautiful, athletic women are swarming the OSU golf course (recently rehabed). I watched a local news show interview some of the top contenders--all foreign, all speaking very acceptable English (moreso than our homegrown men's basketball and football athletes). They all admitted to knowing almost no English when they came here. One of the Asian women said she'd taken a year off just to concentrate on learning English.

English--it's not just for athletes. Don't cripple our immigrant children by teaching them in their parents' language in our schools. English is the global language of business and the language of the USA.
