I'm am saddened that a 6-year-old would think she is "better than" someone because she speaks 2 languages and someone else only speaks 1. In the US people can speak as many languages as they want and they are all EQUAL. As far as languages go, English was always stressed in America because a common language was needed among all the immigrants. There was also the effects of war on the language--German Americans stopped speaking German during WWII because Germany was the enemy.
The US is egocentric, but so is every other nation. That's life.
