Actually English is already required to be taught in the schools in Puerto Rico. And honestly, I don't see why a higher level of fluency and literacy would be required, and just saying that it was in the past isn't a good enough reason to me.
That being said, I'm really surprised the whole PR thing isn't making more waves. I'm also not sure where I stand on it myself being a Puerto Rican.
*shrugs* Not like it matters until they submit a formal request to the Congress requesting statehood, and I'm doubtful that will happen.
