The republicans really pressed the attack on that one if you remember

"We might end up having our first french president!!"

I mean, how can knowing another language possibly be a negative?

I'm kind of surprised the republicans didn't push Jeb Bush's Spanish hard and cater to the Hispanics. He did a little but not nearly enough.

Foreign language is like some kind of arcane knowledge to Americans.

I think most people are either salty that they failed their French classes, or just expect everyone else to learn English and say "to hell with other languages."
