> Still this is old testment, and as your Leviticus examples shows, Christians really just pick and choose which parts of the Old Testment to follow.

Eh? Really? Careful with the generalizations. In all of the denominations I've gone to locally, plus the few I've been in in Mexico, there was no 'picking and choosing.' I'll just say for myself that I follow the NT, which names Jesus as the fulfillment of the law and says we are no longer under the law. Still, the guidelines for living a Christian life reiterate all of the Ten Commandments except "Remember the Sabbath." Among many other things, homosexual ACTS [not people!] are very clearly called unacceptable in the first chapter of the letter to the Romans, and elsewhere.

> > > All learn English? Absolutely. I wouldn't think of moving to France and not learning French; to Spain and not learning Spanish; to any other country in the world and not learning the native tongue. People who want to come here and reap the benefits of this country but express utter disdain for learning the local language utterly disgust me.

Both fine points. I view this from the practical angle: adults and children both who are required to learn English succeed at school and financially at a statistical rate nearly double those who aren't forced to. I got this information from education reports by the states of California and Texas. I think it is the school's duty to prepare students for success, and teaching ESL is the best way currently. They can speak anything they please outside of school.
