A parent has a right to send a child to any legal school they want.
If a parent is forced by circumstance to live in a specific area then they shouldn’t be forced to send their child to a school they believe is unsuitable.
In this case, if it were me I’d consider forcing my child to spend X number of hours a week learning a language that is of absolutely no use to them an unacceptable waste of time.

Does pretending to be a complete idiot really win the votes though?

Why is he an idiot? He isn’t insisting that these children go to an all-welsh school. He’s saying that it’s ridiculous to pay private-school fees for the sole purpose of avoiding 2 hours of Welsh a week.
Of course, the soldiers from Wales probably don’t need this. It’s aimed at the ones who have been sent there together with their families, from somewhere else in the UK. I wonder how many of those are officers.
