[EnglishLanguage] Kentucky may require all high school grads to speak a foreign language

What a good idea! In France, because my 11 year-old
son is considered an Anglophone, he cannot take
English as a language. Instead he has taken Spanish.
In France you have to do two languages. So he will do
Arabic later on.
How many languages does one have to do in the US or
does that vary from state to state?
