I'm going to (politely) call you crazy. 2 billion people in the world speak English, and it's the 3rd most spoken language in the world. We've settled on it as a standard in some cases (Pilots are required to speak English). Economically speaking, it's rational to make it an official EU language, in the same way the EU was formed to create a competitive economic bloc. Without it, you lose access to an enormous potential customer base.
No one gets extra credit for tying their hand behind their back (shunning the English language, in this case) in a globalized world.
> It just wouldn't be fair to have European kids and adults have to learn a minority language while Americans or Brits would just get it for free.

Life isn't fair.
