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.
