English Official Language

Wokeness and gluttony. In 25 years the heartbeat of the world, the cultural beacon of world hope, will reside right here

As a 90's/00's liberal, I can say you are right that most of my fellow libs thought that wrong (or stupidly, racist). I never could understand the outrage and agree with you.

But I also think we should spend money to help ESL students where necessary and some conservatives strongly pushed back (were triggered/hated the idea) on that last bit during the same era.
The fact that anyone gives a shit about this, one way or the other, is indicative of how unserious we have all become.

I can think of 100 other issues more pressing right now (or rn, as I recently learned), to be sure.
 
In previous years I had long conversations (arguments at times) with the liberals here about making English the official language. Liberals hated (I assume still hate) that idea. It especially triggered them when I said immigrants really need to learn English to fully realize the American dream. I'm good with some level of English proficiency be a requirement for citizenship. English classes should be available for them. Children of immigrants will learn English as they grow up and attend school. Hopefully.


Teddy could say this today and be in the majority
