If English Is Good Enough for Me . . .

Forgive me for not blogging on this last week. In the Nashville, Tennessee area, some residents don’t want non-English books in their library. “At a meeting of the Marshall County Memorial Library board, an eighth grade social studies teacher said if one penny has been spent on Spanish language books, it’s too much,” reports WKRN-TV. Since this little flair up, the library has received many offers for funding.

This reminds me of a complaint the six-year-old Calvin had about studying foreign languages in school. If I remember correctly, he said, “If English is good enough for me, it’s good enough for the rest of the world!”

    You can delete this comment. Was just thinking through the problems you mentioned and I may have a solution.

    In the lists and settings section of Bloo, change the site url from “http://wwww.brandywinebooks.net” to “https://brandywinebooks.net”.

    I don’t know if this will fix the problem, but I’ve seen before where the “www” can cause problems.

    Just something to try. Let me know

  2. Too much money spent on foreign books? Do they not teach foreign languages in the school? That is the most rediculous, most absurd thing I have read in a long, long time. We should all be bi or tri-lingual. We should all learn a foreign language. Yes, people who come to America should learn to speak English, and proper English at that.
