I sort of disagree on foreign languages as mandatory as i would think that mastery of English would be more rational, and other languages would hinder that for most |

Where I live the population is about 60% Spanish (they don't like the terms "hispanic" here) and the person who only speaks English is kind of at a disadvantage. |
