Why am I taking spanish again...?

I have a hard time keeping my mouth shut on this issue. I am currently sitting in my Spanish 201 class wondering why the hell am I here. I happen to be a political science major following the Pre-Law course with intentions to get into Law school. I have a passion for politics and law and love every second I'm hearing and learning about it. But...I am in Spanish 201...yes, Spanish 201...why? Ball State requires I take two semesters of a foreign language for a political science major...WHY? I may sound repetitive but I ask why a lot. I mean honestly, I get it...this country is a melting pot and we have more and more Mexican-Americans each year but that doesn't mean I should HAVE to take a foreign language. You know what, maybe all these immigrants and illegal aliens should learn English. In no way shape or form am I being rude or disrespectful I am just speaking the truth. This is AMERICA...OUR country. They should learn to speak OUR language. I could understand if my major was SPANISH...but no, it's POLITICAL SCIENCE...I have ranted enough.

  1. ... OUR language? Do we have a national language? We don't have an official language, though ~82% of the population speaks English...

    BUT, this being said, I do agree with you.
