It's funny, I tend to agree with quite a bit of Zeb's ranting.....he is a bit extreme for my tastes and beliefs, but some of his rants, if spoken calmly would have a few points.
I do however disagree with his take on museums.
I also disagree completely with this

ESL is English as a SECOND language, stupid. That means that kids are taught in TWO DIFFERENT LANGUAGES in school, so instead of learning 1 language good, which should be ENGLISH, they learn two languages with no real gain to themselves.

ESL or English as a second language does not mean "kids are taught in TWO DIFFERENT LANGUAGES in school"
It means that the studens who are in ESL classes are learing English as their second language. This because their native language is not English. Hence, English AS A second language. Just like if you learned German or French. That would be your second language.
