      People were saying that upthread, and other people were pointing out reasons that that's probably not true- but that is where the conversation was.

      My point here isn't to say "they're not allowing people to learn their language", it's that we should refute that argument on the basis of whether that is or isn't happening, not on the basis that that wouldn't actualy be repression, which was how I took what you said.
