Our founding fatherds never thought it was necessary, infact Jefferson, Franklyn and Adams all spoke many languages.
We should look to our founding fathers for guidance.

I agree with the value of learning other languages, but I also note that our founding fathers chose only one language in which to write the Constitution. Common language helps bind a country together; without it, you end up with a Balkanized society. I posit that Quebec, for example, would not have a successionist movement if their citizens spoke English, even if the majority of them were of French descent.
