Air Force member called ‘distasteful’ for speaking Spanish in uniform
“Contrary to popular belief [of ignorant bigots], the United States has no official language. In fact, more than 20 percent of U.S. households reportedly speak a language other than English at home, according to 2017 data released by the Census Bureau. That same data shows that more than 40 percent of the population speaks a language other than English in major cities like Los Angeles, New York, Houston and Miami.
“Speaking a language other than English while at work is a right that is protected by U.S. law, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, specifically. It would be a violation of federal anti-discrimination law for an employee to be required to only speak English except for in a situation where it was necessary for someone to do their job, according to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.”
The level of ignorance and bigotry is unbelievable.
The United States Army is the worlds largest Foreign Legion.
