Of course, that’s ignoring the fact the Founders didn’t make English the national language for a reason.
But, why bother with what they thought, right?

Is it just me since Trump is now president, while I like that he got in, but all these orders, some to me doesn’t make sense, like this English order, renaming the gulf, he needs to concentrate on important things, also I wish every time he does stuff, Fox News doesn’t need to cover everything, his rambling does get old, but I guess it’s better then giggles……
Maybe even the Founders weren't perfect. Thinking that at the time we were the 'melting pot' of the world. A majority of the people learned English to be able to communicate with others and blend in with the new world. They didn't come here to create a new Spain/Italy/France, they came here to join what would become the greatest country in the world. Not divided by language or anything else.

I'm all for it. There was a time not too long ago when immigrants tried hard to learn English and blend in with every day America. Now there are many who not only don't want to learn English, but want to follow the ways of their native country. If you want to be in America, learn to be an American.

back in school days (for many of us) French was the language taught.........like ah yeah, imma gonna go to France, to see Lucy's undapants.....
learning a language should have been a choice, not a directive.
i chose "skipping class"...got caught, got suspended, got a few days off from school, then had punishment of staying after school..
i skipped that shite too.......
funny how some of us, rebelled against directives from authoritarians back then
Son has in-laws who have been in L.A. for 30+ years, “ y no comprende Ingles”…too difficult. They live in a Mexican area and have no need to learn, in their minds,
