This is America. English is spoken here. You want to speak your native
language, speak it at home amongst your friends and relatives. My parents,
their families and millions of others came here many years ago. They had
to learn the language and went to night schools to do so. They still spoke
their native tongues at home but learned to read and write English and
always spoke to the children in English. We have immigrants from many
parts of the world. Why not have signs in their languages? We have
Russian, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, etc. Why do we pander to the
Hispanics? Why do we have to pay for bilingual teachers to accomadate them
when we can't afford to hire English speaking teachers to educate our
children?
I can tell you have never been to Chinatown in NYC. Street signs there are
bilingual.
