Testimonials
My Father was born and raised in Mexico and worked very hard to become a citizen of the United States. My parents chose not to teach me Spanish as a young child because they knew that when I started attending grade school knowing how to speak Spanish with a Spanish surname in the late 1950's, I would be put in a special set of classes for whom "English was a second language." My parents believed these classes not to be on par with the rest of the school.
My Father was always very proud of his American citizenship and raised his children to respect our country and the liberty's it affords us. Even though my father spoke with a very heavy accent, he showed me the importance of knowing English in America. I believe we are putting people whom come to this country to participate in the "American Dream" at a disadvantage if we don't require English as the nation's official language.
