 Patriotic Teen Fails SpanishPosted on Mar 22, 2011
This video details the makings of a conservative hero: a high school sophomore who purposefully fails Spanish to save his country, pledging to “speak American” instead. The Onion News Network’s “Beyond the Facts” has more on this heartwarming (faux) story. —KA The Onion News Network: Advertisement Previous item: Julian Assange, Unsavory Couch Surfer Next item: Jeremy Scahill on America's Covert War in Yemen New and Improved CommentsWe are launching a major overhaul of our comments section.

you’re cheating yourself, kid. Being a polyglot exercises your brain in a way that lets it get to max power. In addition to Spanish, learn Chinese, Japanese and India’s native tongue. Then you’ll be set to do combat on the world stage. Good luck.
