But the point is that learning (or not learning) Spanish should be your choice, not the Government's.

Now as an aside, I think that anyone who doesn't learn Spanish, the second language of the United States, is an idiot. I picked it up in my forties, my family uses it all the time, and, as a result, we have economic and cultural opportunities that you monolingual people will never be able to get.
However, with over 80% of the people of the USA speaking English and often exclusively English, English is the de facto language of the USA.
