Our friend John Fund's latest column is absolutely essential reading for all who care about maintaining a common culture and for all who care about protecting private entities from crazy lawsuits and meddlesome rules. Sen. Lamar Alexander has offered an amendment to protect great organizations such as the Salvation Army from lawsuits over English-only policies -- but Nancy Pelosi, predictably, is blocking the amendment. Not only is Alexander right on substance, but (to add to what Fund says) Newt Gingrich has repeatedly highlighted in recent years that "official English" policies are overwhelmingly popular with the American people, including with citizens of Hispanic origin. Do read John's piece to find out more.
