I don't know if this is funny or sad....but in the area where Stoneheather lives....it's a MAJOR problem. I thought I'd post it.

The Tower of Babel

Recently, a Wendy’s manager and his cashier attacked a customer with a rake and a pair of hedge trimmers. They are now facing felony assault charges.

What provoked this eruption of wild rage? The customer said in effect, “Why don’t you learn to speak Spanish so you can understand and communicate with your customers?”

The manager and cashier were Pakistani, and in Pakistan they speak Urdu.

You see the problem. As soon as you start making concessions to the language of foreigners in the name of multiculturalism, you end up with a nation of people who can’t even order a hamburger.

In an earlier, more sensible time, the children of immigrant parents spoke perfect English, because they were forced to learn the language in school. Today the U.S. Department of Education has an Office of Bilingual Education, and children are taking math courses in Spanish.

U.S. English, Inc. – an organization that is attempting to fix this problem – has for years been promoting a bill establishing English as the nation’s “official language.” If passed, this bill would tear down the Tower of Babel which for years we have been building, brick by brick.
