I don't know I've ever told you. 334 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 4: I watched a documentary about French kids. And this was 335 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 4: relatively recently. I want to say this was early twentieth century, 336 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 4: so maybe nineteen fifteen or so, but the state of 337 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 4: Louisiana passed the law that children were not allowed to 338 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,959 Speaker 4: be instructed in French, not even as a second language, 339 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,400 Speaker 4: because so many of the Acadians had come down from 340 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 4: what we would now call Canada or the Snow Mexicans, 341 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:41,439 Speaker 4: and they had come down to create Acadia, and they 342 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 4: had held so firmly onto their culture that many of 343 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 4: the kids were not learning English. So the state of 344 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 4: Louisiana imposed upon them, you will learn English, and they 345 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 4: tried to break their cat. They were Catholic French, and 346 00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 4: they tried to impose well, they imposed English. Am I 347 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 4: understanding as they try to impose Protestantism on them as well. 348 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 4: Stephen Grossman is not Jewish Ramon. He is Czech and 349 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 4: Slovak and he is a partner at a firm called 350 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 4: Fga Fear or fur Fehr Grossman Architects. But their website 351 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:22,200 Speaker 4: doesn't work because the domain name says FGCA dot CC, 352 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:27,360 Speaker 4: but that doesn't work.
