French in Highschool

In my opinion not all the students should have to learn french. English is our first language therefore we should HAVE to learn english. French is our countries second language. Therefore it should be an option to us to be able to take french as a course. If French was a must have then wouldn't we just go into immersion? That's all french...But in my opinion I DO NOT think ALL high school students should be required to take french, it should be the students and parents choice.
