Well, it's simply stupid. My mother was part Welsh (from way back), but she always told me to be very proud that I had Welsh blood in my veins. And, how can I be proud of a place that is apparently going to let its language, art and history die for lack of teaching!! Not to mention not teaching those incredibly important aspects of worldwide culture in general. What sort of students are they going to be turning out? I can answer that, to turn a Simple Desultory Philippic on its head, the type of student who when you mention "Dylan" thinks you are talking about the singer instead of the poet.
