In the US, there is currently a congressional bill on the horizon that is trying to make English the official language. It is already the official language in a few states, including Iowa, but this law will force all states to fall into line. Sounds fine, except for some very scary revelations from the article below:
- The legislation would not bar private businesses or individuals from using multilingual material, but it does seek to prevent federal funds from being spent on such efforts.
- [On Jan. 10, a lawsuit was filed in the Iowa] state district court against Gov. Chet Culver and Secretary of State Michael Mauro, both Democrats, for violating Iowa’s English-language law. The lawsuit accuses Mr. Culver, who served as secretary of state before running for governor, and Mr. Mauro of illegally placing voter-registration forms and absentee-ballot request forms on Iowa’s secretary of state Web site in foreign languages.

So the US now wants to ban non-English speaking people from voting? Or having anything to do with Government departments? Who will provide the money for tourism centres since brochures in other languages can’t be funded by Government funds? If you want it as the official language, fine. But think about what you’re doing in this every international world we live in.
Oh, and who’s going to pay for the materials that involve California, Colorado, El Paso, Florida, Fresno, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Montana, Nevada, San Antonio, San Francisco, and Santa Fe? They better rename them, along with the Alamo, Alcatraz, Cape Canaveral…
Much Thanks!…
