There are black people in the 'hood that cannot speak English and they've gone through our primary education system and secondary education system. Ebonics is not a language but is readily available to all blacks. Let's try to eliminate that language and have everyone in America speak the Queen's English.
That’s one of the problems, our education system. With stupid programs like “no child left behind” they just push forward anyone and everyone so their school rankings don’t go down and lower the real estate markets. We went from having people respect us to people not giving a shit and being entitled to do whatever they want. All my ancestors came through Ellis island and learned English These days they don’t care bc the more division they can produce even for simple things like communication is the plan. Keep us divided and in fear. Not while Trump is here, happy to see some change!
I am of the belief that ebonics is an anti-civilization psy-op. It provides nothing of benefit to the civilization, but it does serve as a divisive us-vs-them mentality, victimhood mentality boosting technology.
Yup, an interpreter is required for parent/teacher meetings in pub ed, for these parents here 30 years. Can't help their children with their homework!
When I objected I was told, "You don't understand. These people haven't had enough education before they left their home country." Of all the condescending, leftist, crap!
No, they just don't HAVE to learn because we coddle them.
In my very blue state (that Scott Presler is working to turn more red), there are many towns that you cannot even get a job unless you are bilingual in Spanish and English. My brother and many of his friends lost jobs because of this. It's been very unfair.
California is like that. Went for an interview with the county. Everything went really well until the very end when they asked "Do you happen to speak Spanish?" When I said "No" the entire interview panel's expression changed.
The Funny thing about ALL of this, and the Comments especially, is that the U.S.Government is the Only one that this EO applies to....
Y'all seem to think that the FEDERATION is the owner of the States, it is NOT the Owner of them, but it is OWNED by the States....
But reading through all of these Comments, especially the ones about Education, tells me that you people might have SOME Education, but are sorely LACKING in American Civics and Government Studies, and the FORM of the Union....
For goodness sake.
Can you order a taco? Then the answer to "can you speak Spanish?" is YES.
Badly, with little skill, but you CAN speak some Spanish.
If you are not getting paid extra for fluency, you are fine. Next ask for tuition assistance for your language classes.
I've been asked if I am bilingual. The answer is YES.
Sometimes people assume what my other language is. They are wrong.
In the very red state of Florida, and especially the southeastern part (which is actually not so red), you cannot have a normal life without knowing spanish. Even if you can get a job, the guy that will come to fix your AC will not speak english.
good!!! i'm sick of going to stores and hearing announcements in spanish.... having to press 1 for English!!! time for ALL illegals to be tossed back to where they ARE legal and anyone that wants to legally come in must learn the language BEFORE applying to come in.... that'll give them plenty of time to think hard whether or not they want to come to the USA to be Americans and be fully assimilated. if they want to bring along their 3rd world stench, they can stay home.
If someone comes here with one language, I think it would be fair and consistent with past practice to allow them a year to become proficient in English and pass a written and spoken exam. My great-grandparents who immigrated spoke only German and Dutch, but they were diligent about learning English. So also those who came from Sweden and Norway, giving rise to the proverbial "Yah, you betcha!" The point is that they were earnest about assimilating...and people from Europe are accustomed to languages being different if they move sufficiently far from one's birthplace.
Based to Space.
I had a customer try to flirt with a minor employee in Spanish. Creepy man, 17 year old girl.
I could feel something was off, but didn't know the language. She had to wait in the break room because LPs weren't allowed to toss his ass out. Just had to wait until he was gone.
I hope ICE comes to Tulsa in good time.
I've been waiting for this to happen for decades! Unfortunately, it won't stop corporations from continuing the nonsense, but hopefully it WILL stop all that nonsense across multiple layers of government.
Perhaps we'll start teaching real English again in schools. We've traveled Italy, France, Belgium, The Netherlands and Germany. Everyone speaks English and most Countries teach English in their schools.
Keeping cursive writing out of the curriculum is a very sneaky way of making the founding documents out of the reach of the public.
We have a generation of Americans that can be told what the documents say, but have to rely on the honesty and reliability of others; they can't read them themselves.
Here is the true spelling and pronuciation of the language of Milton, Shakespeare, Keats, Byron and Dr Spooner. read and inwardly digest my colonial frens, the test is next day in the refectory at 11.25AM.
Fag means cigarette and bum a fag means to scrounge a cigarette, remember this.
People need to realize that this is more than just a convention. Our entire political and legal system is based on law written in English, which means we go according to the meaning of the concepts expressed in the English language. It is the language of our historical continuity and our literature and our Christianity.
The subject was English as a national language, which it has been since colonization, when the Colonists had Bibles translated into English. (And Greek applies only to the New Testament.)
Somewhat in support of your point, though, is the likelihood that German immigrants would have had copies of the Luther Bible in German, made available by the printing press.
The plan all along was to get as many people as possible to speak English then were are going to impose our tariffs. Royalties will be charged per word!
I know people that have been in this country 30 years that don't speak English.

Social promotion sucks
Meanwhile folks from Africa speak good English. Accent might be off but it’s still way better English
I am of the belief that ebonics is an anti-civilization psy-op. It provides nothing of benefit to the civilization, but it does serve as a divisive us-vs-them mentality, victimhood mentality boosting technology.
Probably another CIA invention...
I believe it's the King's English now. Not really, but we're gracious that way.
Rush referred to it as "hooked on Ebonics"!!! I be, you be, he be!!! Sad really.

Amen!
I had people GET OUT OF JURY DUTY with the excuse 'no habla ingles'.
I routinely get out of having to talk to sales people and people shilling for donations on the street by just replying in Afrikaans.
“Baie jammer ek praat glad nie engels nie. Jy kan maar fokkof nou, okay bye bye 👋 😊”
One of these days someone’s gonna understand what I’m saying and deck me 😆
That's fine. A lot of people had grandparents that still spoke languages from "the old country".
That all of our official documents are in English is important.
they better learn it.

Probably gave your job to an illegal!
Probably. It was in personnel/HR for the county so the person probably didn't even speak English. Mind you, this was 15 years ago!
For goodness sake.

In that county you get paid an extra 10% in pay as a "translator" if you speak Spanish
Yah! Win, win!
In the very red state of Florida, and especially the southeastern part (which is actually not so red), you cannot have a normal life without knowing spanish. Even if you can get a job, the guy that will come to fix your AC will not speak english.
Absolutely!
Now make "assimilation" a requirement for citizenship.
No more "Press One" for English?
The #2 button enters the chat.
u/#peperain
Go on! Get!
There Never was a ""Press 1 for english""....
Some of y'all lie like the MSM....
Wow, this wasnt there already?
No...people have wanted this for YEARS!
Like men in women's sports...
That's my Donald. Melting the brains of Leftists and Libtards every single day.

YES! No more press two for Spanish.
Speak English if you come to America legally.
And perhaps the Catholic Church will eventually eliminate Spanish Masses, two. But that could be wishful thinking
Make Latin Great Again!
Oh that would actually be a divine solution. The universal language.
Its time....
Sí....
detener.. stop
¡goy braino!

No more Spanish to push a different button. Just English!
It's about time we have an official language, that people from this country speak
Now how 'bout we taxpayers quit having to pay for government documents in multiple languages?
Fucking good... no more Para hablar con alguien en español, oprima dos. bullshit.
I don't think this will prevent that? Maybe I guess if you're calling a federal agency, but companies can still do whatever.
Thank you, Mr. President! This is about fifty years overdue, but at last, someone has had the guts to do it!
Congress needs to make this a U.S. law. Exec. Orders can be overturned.
Agreed!
I've been waiting for this to happen for decades! Unfortunately, it won't stop corporations from continuing the nonsense, but hopefully it WILL stop all that nonsense across multiple layers of government.
I believe it will eventually disappear
A lot of wins today
Congress should have done this in the 50s. Would they have the spine in current year? This needs to be a law, not an EO.
For now it's a huge cost-cutting move. Now the govt doesn't have to provide interpreters and a mountain of info in Spanish, Chinese, etc.
Please call this language American, or American English, but not simply English.
Perhaps we'll start teaching real English again in schools. We've traveled Italy, France, Belgium, The Netherlands and Germany. Everyone speaks English and most Countries teach English in their schools.
And remember, every cockpit and tower speaks English. Well Aviation English, but you get the idea.
Correct.
If you can't teach or show your children our laws and regulations.Isn't that a form of child abuse.
Keeping cursive writing out of the curriculum is a very sneaky way of making the founding documents out of the reach of the public.
We have a generation of Americans that can be told what the documents say, but have to rely on the honesty and reliability of others; they can't read them themselves.
Great. Now maybe the FBI will understand what turn over the documents means.

Two great Nations divided by a common language. 😸🇺🇲🇬🇧
Faggot is a bundle of sticks of a specific size. 3ft x 2ft I'm told. Firestarter I think.

I stand corrected. So what? This is not a nation that speaks Greek, nor ever was.
Welllll....only our Christianity since 1962.
Since the Geneva bible, which was the main Bible in use by the early English-speaking colonists, published in 1560.
I see your Geneva Bible and raise you the Gutenberg Bible.
Checkmate.
The Gutenberg Bible was not written in English. It was written in Latin. You are not even on the board.
er, that would be my point. Well spotted, you!
Somewhat in support of your point, though, is the likelihood that German immigrants would have had copies of the Luther Bible in German, made available by the printing press.
Thank you Jesus.....and President Trump!
Glory Hallelujah!!!!
I never want to hear "press 1 for english" again in my life!
Amen!!
Mods please sticky!!
Finally! I can't understand how this hasn't happened 240 ish years ago.
Ope!
Wow, didn’t see this one coming, but I love it!
No habla bla blah blah!
Finally, we Brits can spring our trap!
The plan all along was to get as many people as possible to speak English then were are going to impose our tariffs. Royalties will be charged per word!
You should probably know that we will charge twice the standard rate for the Dick van Dyke variant of English.
WHOOP!
