Schools will be able to stop teaching French, German and Spanish and offer other languages, including Urdu, Chinese, Russian, and Arabic.......the changes would equip young people “with the skills for life and work in the 21st century”.

Well, yes, if Kyoto goes through. Corporations will move their business to the third world countries and countries like China because they will not be required to sign on. (I guess alGore has invented a way for those countries to keep their polluted air inside their borders)

Anyway, the big guys will set up in the those countries where they can pollute to their hearts content - and so, of course, it makes sense for kids to learn these third world languages so they can go get jobs there, rather than the languages most spoken in the civilized world... sarq

Looks like preparation for dhimitude to me. The west deserves to die if the masses allow these ignorant educated slobs run the world.

I never forgot walking into a Ben&Jerry’s ice cream shop back in early 90’s and a large banner proclaiming (among other points like world government and anti-RKBA) that we should learn a new language...basically for the same reasons.
