Some form of simplified Chinese would be better than kids learning French in schools. Spanish is better than French, but even still it's not a huge advantage outside of South America. Latin is a good language to learn, with a basic grasp of Latin people can struggle by in most romance languages.
There is of course something to be said for learning a written language so you can read books in the language they were originally written. Translations are never as good as the original text. But attempts by governments to legislate a language are daft.
