If English is not declared the official language of this great country we will be in deep trouble in the years to come. I do not believe anyone should be permitted to vote if English is not understood. How do you know who and what to vote for if you do not know the language? What good does a driver's license do if you are unable to read the road signs? I believe English should be the only language taught in schools unless another is taught as a foreign language.

When I was a small child I moved to Norway with my parents. My Mother was 27 years old, a Wisconsin farm girl who knew not one word of Norwegian. My younger brother and I learned to speak Norwegian by playing with our playmates. We spoke English at home and in time my Mother learned the Norwegian language, It is great if children of parents from other countries have another language to speak. Let them speak it at home, but I am dead set against it being the primary language in any public school in this country. One of the things that has made this country great is that we have had a common language. Let's not jeopardize our country by having it become balkanized.
