As a data point, I'm bilingual, and have been for about 30 years (my first language isn't English), and I'm kind of an idiot. So there's that.
In all seriousness though, this is something that's only debated in very large countries with a dominant culture and common language (US, Russia, UK, France, etc). Growing up in a smaller country that has its own language, pretty much everyone has to read/write and speak English at some level.
