I want to thank everyone for their thoughtful posts with the exception of those who are certain I am a bigot and hate Russia. To those people I forgive you as we are all on the same side and if you knew me you would know I am not that way at all.
Also, I am bit more comfortable with the situation now. This is just one year and next year it very easily could be Spanish or French or some other language that we feel is more useful and practical. Also some of the comments made me think more about the positive effects of being exposed to a language like Russian.. one person wrote... "Russian is a great language to learn. Imagine being able to read Tolstoy and many other Classics in Russian instead of the translations". That one got me. Thanks JI7!
Anyway thanks again. I am done with this thread.
