Speaking in Tongues

[Zincwarrior]

Should the U.S. formally adopt English as its national language? Stop catering to those who don't speak English in government offices and programs?

If you can't pass a simple Civics test IN ENGLISH, you should not be voting.

ok, but what does that have to do with "government offices and programs?"

What do yinz think?

I think - what does it matter? Why are you afraid of people speaking another language? Have you literally only lived in bumfuck Mississippi?

... Why are you afraid of people speaking another language? ...

Doesn't matter what he's afraid of. None of his fucking business anyway.

The problem is people like you DON'T want immigrants to assimilate. And that does include speaking English, Motherfucker!

Kids who need to learn math are taught math. It's not "catering," it's educating.

Then perhaps you can clarify what you think you mean.

School budgets are soaring due to having to accommodate non english speaking 'asylum seekers' UnKotare

This is a fact, weather one agrees or disagrees to this expense is irrelevant

That is not a fact. For the 1000000000000th time, the great majority of ESL students in American public schools ARE US citizens.


Also, "English" and "whether." You realize that YOU are a "non-English speaker," right?

 

[sparky]

That is not a fact.

yeah it is in a sanctuary state, where schools have to hire bilingual tutors UnKotare

and yes they're a scant minority, yet a major expense to deal with that's elevated our $$ per pupil here

You don't know what you're talking about. I work in exactly such circumstances. Stop guessing.
