I think that if they have a principal language they should do away with it to match the other 50 states.

No. It seems so archaic to me. The future holds room for all languages imo and whichever one people speak the most (in each area) should prevail.

The United States doesn't have an official national language, so no.

The fact that entire states full of people supported and endorsed that F'ing idiot Santorum, is proof that "conservatives"...are insane.

And no, why in the hell would they have to speak English to be a state? That's an amazingly stupid concept. This country was great at one time because we accepted and built upon differences and new ideas. Now with the current rage to go back to pre-WWII "perfection" by many....this country is turning into a back water, 3rd world nation full of idiots, uneducated Luddites, and superstitious nutcases.

Since the constitution has no such requirement... and I have not heard anything about Puerto Rico wanting to join the Union as a State... I am going with the option that he is just trying to get votes from his base.

not to take rick sanitarium's side (see what I did there?) but while our country might not have a national language our states do.

What class was a required learning in your high school?

New Jersey at the time required four years of English to graduate.

Even Public AND private colleges/unis with a higher standard accreditation (ABET etc) require English I and II at a minimum afaik.

I wonder if there is any crazy language in the "No Child Left Behind," act (which is ridiculous) which sets a minimum standard also.

why would they want to be a state to begin with?

they are better off as territory.


now on the other note, english is the defacto national language.
when I was in the service, I learned that english was the only language that was allowed in the "spaces" when conducting navy business.
you could speak what ever you wanted outside the fence line but when you came through that front gate it was english only.

and yes it was enforced.
