This is a result of pandering to all Spanish speakers. All those that think they're so cool, tolerant or accepting when they choose to speak Spanish to others in public to show their progressive attitude are at blame for this. In other words, how do they expect those who speak Spanish to learn English if they don't hear it or have to even try to speak it. This starts in the public realm because if it weren't acceptable to speak Spanish in public both the parents and children would make the effort to learn English.
Learning a language doesn't take any great skill, even those with a below average IQ learn to speak a language. It just takes hearing it often and the desire to speak it.
