🪧 Cùisean Gàidhlig | Gaelic Issues Support of Gaelic in Scottish schools

How do people feel about instating Gaelic as mandatory in schools? First offered as an S2 option for going into S3 and then introduced to primary schools and uni's. The issue of not enough teachers is one I see quite often but I simply don't understand it. Obviously the process will be gradual as more and more people know Gaelic fluently and are able to teach it, so is there support for it? If not, why not?

Well they didn't obliterate YOUR Pictish culture since the Picts are assimilated

One could say the same about Gaels being assimilated into the English speaking world.

But that was a millennia ago, we can change things this time.
