Should start between 10&13, this lack reflects our inability to communicate & conduct business with countries in their language. I learned 2 English & German from10 -13.

As an all knowing child I was so happy that I did not have to learn a 2nd language-Have been forever sorry that I missed the opportunity of a lifetime to expand my horizons throughout my life.

Learning a second language early in life helps form the brain for later better learning. I think the US should encourage a second language starting in 1st grade.

I believe the younger you are the easier it is to learn a different language and on the West Coast we should learn Spanish

"Required?" I'm not so sure, But if the parents want them too, the younger the better. Children brought up in bi-lingual households easily pick up both languages. It informs the brain. No downside.

Sign language at the least should be offered in all public schools.

I was teaching my daughter German at 5 and 6. Well known child psychologist told me to stop, as it would confuse her learning English grammar in school.

We need that money in our own country to help our schools, Medicare and education. Don’t you care about our neighbors and communities?

That money won't help our neighbors and schools when Iranian nukes start hitting our allies and eventually us! That is their goal as they have stated for years!!

If it even needs saying, the Military Industrial Complex is the MOST bloated budget of the entire federal budget. If our current "completely-in-over-his-head" Def Sec + idiot prez hadn't started a completely unnecessary war, we would not have depleted stores of weapons and this be on nobody's radar!

Ka San, You sound like a radical liberal. Guess you'd rather have nukes start flying around in the middle east and then closer to home in a couple years.

As a tax payer and resident of Deschutes County I am tired of my tax dollars being used to clean up the filth the homeless people leave behind. If this is a deterrent for them living there then we won’t have to clean it up again. Thus saving tax payer dollars and the rocks are a better look.
