"Mr President, first of all, Europe should not meddle in the Member States’ internal educational matters. If there is one area in which the subsidiarity principle should apply in full, it is education policy. Secondly, this proposal accomplishes the precise opposite of what is officially intended. It is important that immigrants should learn the host country’s language. If they are unfamiliar with the language of their country of origin, or are no longer at home with it, that should not be an obstacle in the host country. This proposal will only promote the formation of ghettos. It is also absurd that our children should learn Arabic, for example. It is the world on its head. Equally far-fetched is the paragraph in the explanatory statement that states that immigrant parents should be encouraged to choose the language of origin in preference to European languages that they could use in their careers. This is an example of multi-cultural ideology prevailing over reality. One really has to be a Communist to dream up something as Utopian as this."@en1
