Languages are incredibly complex and information-intense things to learn, store, and maintain in ones brain. It almost feels aggressive for high-tower liberals to talk about how important it is that minorities preserve their languages, when there can be real costs to their economic prosperity associated with having to divide their childhoods between a "native" tongue that is for practical use worthless, and English. Even worse when English proficiency is harmed in favor of a less useful tongue. And that is not to say English is in any way a good language. It is dreadful. But language is not valuable for how well it pleases a gramaticist, but for its ability to facilitate communication, and right now English is so far and away #1 globally in that regard doing anything but trying to press every civilization to teach their citizens it is almost condemning them to poverty for some upper crust and downright selfish ideals of cultural diversity.
