English ONLY ! ! ! !

Countermoonbattery Alert: Speak English, It's the Law

According to MaryHunter at moonbattery.com:

Jackson is a little New York hamlet nestled near the Vermont border. Population: 1,700-ish. Grocery store: nope. Gas station: sorry. Official language: English.

The law has already put Jackson at odds with the New York Civil Liberties Union, which says it violates state and federal law. But in the great American echo chamber, every mouse gets to roar, so Roger Meyer, who proposed the law, feels he is making progress toward protecting the English language from threats near and far.

Any law that pisses off the ACLU has to be model legislation for the rest of America to emulate.

This week when I was applying for jobs many had the requirement for being bilingual. It really pisses me off that as an American in AMERICA I don't qualify for a job because I don't speak Spanish.

If you can't speak English bring an interpreter. . . .it shouldn't be the responsibility of every business to accommodate you.
