Lawyer: English-only is "discriminatory."

And they can go straight to hell and die. This is the USA. We speak English here. If you don't like it,GTFO! I shouldn't have to learn you language except if I go to your country, and it should be the same when you come to mine!

It will be interesting to see how this will go in court.

I think it's discriminatory that I wasn't hired as a trauma surgeon because I didn't do a small thing like go to medical school. I demand a handout.

Did I do it right?

I don;t even feel angry about these kinds of stories anymore. I mean, what can we freaking expect?

I believe language is important. I can speak more than two myself. But if you move to Russia -- you should learn to read, write, and speak in Russian; if you move to Japan-- you shoud learn to read, write, and talk in Japanese. I would ask this lady and her brilliant lawyer if they think Mexico would change their language laws for those who can't speak or read Spanish.

They are making it a requirement now for even minimum wage jobs such as AutoZone. No shit!

WTF happened to Colorado? Mental patients being elected into office. I can't believe Tancredo was ever elected in this state. Not that I was {or am} his biggest fan, but things like this is what turned him into the man he is.

I know he is not in office. I am talking about the past. He was elected for 5 terms, If i am not mistaken.

Yes Americans need to remember since they are under English rule they need to speak English. Their English lords and masters demand it.

Obviously the lawyer is blatantly ignoring the fact that the official language of Colorado is in fact ENGLISH.

My point about Tancredo is very simple. I made the remark that I could not believe he was ever elected to public office anywhere in Colorado when a large portion of the state's population seems to support lawsuits like this -- including amnesty.

now bow to our queen.

We have a Queen. It's Michelle Obama.

Close, but no, you didn't do it right.

Ya know what? This used to be AMERICA,greatest Nation on Earth. Not so much now,but..Bottom line..if you come here,LEARN THE FUCKING LANGUAGE!
If you choose not to,then STFU AND GTFO. Go home,ya assholes.

If you don't like it, then you can get out {South Park accent}.

She's not the Queen... she's the co-pilot.

In most other places of the world, what we speak is referred to as "American" and not "English" actually..

tell the wetback to learn english
or go the fvck home

and if we were in Mexico, I'd
tell the fVcker that speaking
Spanish was discriminatory

You're such an idiot. There is NO official language of the United States. Until there is, STFU in all the languages of the world.

This should be expected when you think back over the last decade or so how some of the major stores and grocers and company's have/list everything in their stores/company in both English and spanish. Walmart was the first that comes to my mind.

So........when this country decided it was bi-lingual I knew trouble would soon be down the road.

You can totally expect this (if it goes to a judge) will definitely rule in favor of the employee.

I mean, what the fuck is wrong with all you American's (that would be me too) that you can't speak two languages! (sarcasm)

This is a harbinger of the over turn of this country to one hispanic united north America's.

And that would mean you too native american's....get with the program and realize that your native language is about to be pre-empted by spanish. (sarcasm)

Its funny how there are a multitude of languages spoken in the united states (over 30 not including subdialects)and it always seems to be one dialect in particular screaming for attention wanting everyone to speak "spanish".

While there may not be an official language for the federal government written in paper, the majority of the states have statues, amendments, etc. which make their state language officially English. Look it up.

Scrump...I can never ever get that shit out of my head.
You know that.
Just....eewwww.....Think about SLEEPING WITH THAT!!
ermahgerd........

......right back atcha....

Pathetic. It's too bad that it's now too late to fire these people, because they would say it was retaliation for the suit they filed.

Shoulda fired them when they started making safety or other mistakes. Not that cause is needed, but that would surely have been good cause, enough to overcome a discrimination suit.

Hmm, hiring them was a mistake, but it could be argued that they were negligent based on their inability or unwillingness to learn the state language.
