Gov. Schwarzenegger

Gov. Schwarzenegger stated yesterday that Spanish-speaking immigrants should stop watching Spanish language television, in order to learn English. I do not agree. I am of the opinion that being bilingual is no big deal. I do agree that immigrants should learn to speak English, but not at the expense of losing Spanish. Which isn't to say I think Spanish language heard on Spanish language television is so great, I mean, do bradcasters not have any dictionaries around? I hear entirely to much slang on television. Spanish language broadcasters should use a sources available to improve on the Spanish the viewer hears while watching television. Don't play down to your audience, always play up.
