Not quite sure what point you are attempting to make: A bilingual teacher would have quite a long list of skills, so trying to insinuate or use as a put-down seems to be yet another feeble attempt at diverting a conversation to a level you're comfortable with - insulting rather than substantive.
FYI: You are aware that there were many schools teaching ONLY in the
native language of the local immigrants after the turn of the 20th
century and into the Depression era, right?
Government "of the people, by the people, for the people" already exists and has since 1776. 1787 if you go by the Constitution's existence.

Not only is the left in denial (or dishonest) about warming - which has been almost non-existent for the last ten years, but one of the major so-called "future" gasoline replacements, hydrogen, is constantly misrepresented in the press as some kind of source energy - which it is not.
It takes huge amounts of electricity to extract hydrogen from water. That means dozens (if not hundreds) of new nuclear power plants, and wind farms to supply enough electricity to convert from gasoline and diesel. Not to mention the twenty to thirty years to allow for purchasing a whole new fleet of of truck, cars and buses, etc.
We need more oil to carry us through the transition. And we need leftists to get honest about the necessity of nuclear for the future.

Let's face it, the Federal Judiciary has worse problems than a brilliant conservative (or at least let's be honest enough to call him a libertarian) Reagan appointee judge who finds a hilarious aroused donkey video (where nobody has sex) amusing instead of "bestiality," and on top of all that, it's not like AK's accuser is an unbiased fountain of "conservative" legal ethics.

First Father's Day
June 15, 2008 - 14:05 ET by Giles Winterbourne"More than 1,000 were newly fatherless, their lives blown apart a few months earlier in nearby
Monongah by the worst coal mining disaster in American history. Of the 361 men killed in the Dec. 6,
1907, blast, some 250 were fathers.
Fathers who should be remembered and honored with their own special day, Clayton decided.
So she made it happen" (WV A&H)
"“immigrant labor as part of a strategy to provide cheap labor for the
newly opened mines, as well as to help thwart unionization efforts.
From 1897 through 1902, labor unions, particularly the Knights of Labor
and then the United Mine Workers of America, undertook extensive
unionization efforts at Monongah. Although unsuccessful, the push for
unionization encouraged the mine owners to replace the homegrown part
of the work force with immigrants.”" (review citing Davitt McAteer’s new book Monongah,)
