What’s Wrong With The English Language?
New York, that bastion of all Americanism, is going to be teaching their young children Arabic twice a week. Now if I’m not mistaken, America is and has been for over 235 yrs an ENGLISH-speaking country. At a time when America is falling way behind the rest of the world in math and science, are we redirecting resources to teach a foreign language? Our teacher’s unions and the SOCIAL PROGRESSIVES in our government are screaming that we need to pour more money into education to get better results, but yet, when we do increase spending on education, it almost always gets diverted to this kind of stupidity!
We are an ENGLISH-speaking nation. English is our primary language. English (only God knows why) should be written into law as our OFFICIAL language! If you come to America, you will have to be able to read and comprehend ENGLISH before you get any benefits or services. No more “press 1 for English, 2 for Spanish”, no no no. No more thousands of different language government booklets or instructions written in ten bazillion different languages to appease everyone that comes here; after all, it is we, the ENGLISH-speaking taxpayers, who have to shoulder the cost of that burden.
The other thing that we do not need and should not tolerate in this country is the introduction of either Sharia Law or foreign law into our judicial system. We have done very well in this country using the systems of laws that we have adopted.

1. It has not been declared (legally and otherwise) America's official language; and
2. Our kids are not receiving anything even close to a sufficient and high quality
education in the english language.





















why not require all to learn ENGLISH first ..
this should be offered as an elective indeed ..
(and it shouldn't take any time away from needed basic education .. such as Math, Science, Reading, Writing)
America does not have an official language either. So you are wrong about English being the language of America.
1. It has not been declared (legally and otherwise) America's official language; and
