We should aspire for all Americans to be conversant in, at minimum, English, German, and Spanish. Monolingualism personally debilitates us and is not even the global norm. I realize that's not exactly the question being asked here, but why should we even need an "official" language?
We should have an official language as a basis for recording our congressional records and laws. We need to continue to recognize the immense value of providing information and services in a number of languages, perhaps even requiring multiple languages at the federal evel.
Depends on what the implications are of being an official language. I support English as the national standard, but not at the expense of practical accommodations for non-English speakers.
If you're voting yes, does that mean ballots and DMV forms drop other languages too, or just symbolic status? Curious where the line is.
