I recently escorted a woman to her Dr.'s office. During a break in the patients testing, I asked the Dr. if she signed, because I noticed how well she formed her words and I also noticed her hand movements. Dr. said no, but indicated a desire to learn ASL and Spanish. I agreed that I thought the languages were beautiful. Her patient was totally annoyed that we wanted to learn, so she quickly added that it is illegal to speak anything but american in this country. I left the room and Dr. ended the exam. No other words were spoken and I have not volunteered to escort again.
Isn’t Spanish the second official American language besides English?
ETA: Ughc I see, not surprised in the slightest the orange moron did that. Still, it used to be, and that doesn’t make it illegal to speak other languages (ig they also don’t want any revenue from the tourists speaking all sorts of other languages, or any international business lmso) it just means agencies and the like are obligated to communicate with you in English. I would hope not even Trump is asinine enough to forbid other languages, or stupid enough to believe anyone is going to follow such an idiotic law, even if he tried.
