California School Spends $10G a Year to Teach AP Spanish to Kids Who Speak Spanish.

A middle school in Southern California is spending $10,000 a year to teach Advanced Placement Spanish to 35 of its 650 students -- and all but one of them are already fluent in Spanish.

Ten grand, to teach Spanish speakers how to speak "better" Spanish. Yeah.. Oh sure, that makes perfect sense! (NOT)

“In public schools, Spanish speakers should put their focus on making sure that they are fluent in English and equipped to speak the kind of English that will open the doors of opportunity to them in this country,” says K.C. McAlpin, executive director of Pro English, a non-profit organization promoting English as the official language of the United States.

Exactly. The United States might be a blend of cultures, but if you want to get business done, you need to have a grasp of the English language, before you move on to other tongues.

“Our goal is basically to provide kids with an opportunity to excel and to feel really satisfied about doing the higher level work,” Lemon Grove School District Superintendent Ernie Anastos told FOXNews.com.

This is total BS. My high school class (at a school in the heart of the San Fernando valley) was approximately 3,000 students. I would say at least 80% of those students were Spanish speaking. I went to Spanish during my junior and senior years of high school, and nearly every person in the classroom had spoken Spanish since birth. Why did they attend Spanish class? It's simple. Because it's an easy A. (Ask any of them, and they'd tell you that flat out). Why not put this money aside for ESL classrooms? Help those who can't speak English, to speak it?? For crying out loud!!
