It's a "big deal" because Klingon is a relatively utterly useless language in the real world, while Dutch/German are very practical in the real world. Sorry guys, but Tim is spot on.
I mean that is just ridiculous Leona--imagine, REALLY imagine, if the father went to the extent of speaking ONLY Klingon at home as you say, and the child was forced to learn to speak and read English on his own through "interactions outside the home." How in cotton picking heck can you say it's "not different"?
Is this website chock full of Trekkies or what? At what year would this be considered child abuse? What if he taught a language he made up, that has "proper syntax"--is that somehow ok as well?
