I dont think its controversial, its just common sense.
If you dont have the skills (technical or language) to do your job correctly, then you shouldnt be performing that job.
If a Doctor cannot understand their patients, or miscommunicates a prescription or treatment then they could misdiagnose, treat incorrectly or possibly kill their patient.
It doesnt matter what the job is, its common sense that people have ALL the necessary skills to do it, and do it right.
