We believe that by launching a determined and protracted effort now, we could all benefit by keeping jobs like those here in Maine in the future. More deeply important than economic gain, however, is that nowhere else in our schools is the lesson of respect for differences more implicitly demonstrated or constantly taught than in our foreign language classrooms. As teachers, we tend to take the long view and to cultivate patience in others and among ourselves, but our patience has been worn thin by the complacency, procrastination, and denial that have met our efforts to advocate for the long-term interests of our students. Trusting in your good faith, we hope you will join us in seeking real, long-term solutions to the challenges facing our youth.
