There's a lot more to power than speaking another language. Ask yourself why the First Nation people who may speak English, French, and their own language are in no better of a power position. The same goes for immigrants who have learned English and French (plus their own language). It has even been suggested that core course learning is dropping because some some students are spending so much time on language learning when they could be mastering the science and math in their mother tongue.

Well said Molly! Currently, the whole thing is a mess and will take a long time before it's reasonable.
