Please. That was in the 40s and 50s. Maybe the 60s. I was born in the 70s. You started seeing the immersion programs appear in the late 80s and early 90s.

I was taking French classes in the late 70s. CODOFIL was already a thing.
My grandparents spoke English as a second language. My parents were bilingual. My Mom and I spent a lot of time at her parents' house when I was a kid.
They tell me I spoke French before I spoke English.
At home,my parents only spoke French when they didn't want us to know what they were talking about.

Those immersion programs weren't teaching Cajun French. They were teaching Parisian, or at best, Quebec French.
