[quote=Anonymous]This isn't a new issue. My family is from a part of the midwest settled by Germans in the 1810s. Well into the 20th century, they were still speaking German, attending German language schools and German language churches My 104 year old grandmother was 4th generation American and her mother's family was one of those families whose first language was German. Her father spoke no German and her mother insisted people speak English when he was around because she didn't want him to feel left out. He did, though, allow my grandmother to attend school that was taught in German. However, they attended English language church.[/quote]
