I stopped right there. Frustrating how everything has to somehow revolve around race. It’s pathetic. It’s got to stop.
For me, I’d assume that they chose English because MINNESOTA IS IN AMERICA, where the dominant and historical language always been English.
Just a small correction - Lino Lakes is not a small Minnesota town. It is one of the fastest growing second ring Twin Cities suburbs.
And so it begins. Americans are tired of this sheesh. English is spoken all over Europe. English is the International language of business. My husband works for a global company with divisions all over the world and guess what? All finanical records are done in English.
We do immigrants a disservice and students as well by not insisiting on learning English.
Bravo, it’s about dam time!
Ping!
That's odd. I'd of thought they would have mandated "Minnesotan" rather than "English".
Lose this war and we will be ruled under the standards of Mexico. Too many people still labor under the losing position that principle can land you somewhere other than on the losing side.
The consequences are unimagineable, across the entire social and economic spectrum.
