Huffington Post: Frederick County, MD has established English as its official language. "In a 4-1 vote on Tuesday night, Frederick County commissioners approved the English-only measure that would bar any foreign language from being used in government documents but would make exceptions in instances where there are public health and safety concerns and for tourism and trade." The president of the commissioners board of the county suggested that it would deter illegal immigration. More likely, he's interested in deterring anyone who isn't a monolingual English speaker. The commissioners were inspired by the work of ProEnglish, an English-only advocacy organization.

If you will get the adoption for the all parts of the languages that is really needed to talk in the international level that will great. I will also be getting the adoption from the collaborations on the suggestions of the English approval.

I know that language has always been a barrier for all people to communicate with one another across the world! But it’s also part of school’s obligation to break it so that their students will be able to understand each other aside from the efforts of the student itself. Boston public schools and other states should always follow what English immersion law has to say. This law had been presented to the public even before, but it still lacks of attention that it needs.
