"I'm all for studying dead and dying languages in all ways possible.
What I'm strongly against is forcing kids to learn an impractical language because old people can't let go of the past and/or want to win political battles."
You are basically "strongly against" new generations inheriting most of their parents' identity. That is not OK, however you spin it.
- throwaway894345 5y agoI would make a distinction between “forced to learn” (i.e., top down by government or social pressure) and “learning naturally in the home”. The latter isn’t “forced” in any useful sense of the term (or else everyone is “forced” to learn their native language). I can be against one and not the other. Not sure if that’s what the OP was intending, however.
