This lawsuit means that every business in America. from the shoe shop to WalMart. will need to hire lawyers to prove it has a legitimate business purpose if that business wants to require employees to speak our national language while at work. I asked the chair of the EEOC in what language she holds staff meetings. She said. in English. We conduct Senate debates in English. Since 1906. no immigrant has been able to become an American citizen without first learning English. At Hillsboro High School in Nashville. where my daughter graduated. students speak 28 native languages. but classes are conducted in English. Federal law requires that all children in public schools be tested in English. and that if they do not know English. they must learn it as soon as possible.
