Default Re: English as the US official language?

[ QUOTE ]
Should Native Americans be forced to learn English? How about Hawaiins?

This is specious and irrelevant. Read what I wrote:

“Anyone applying for naturalization or permanent residence (green card) must be proficient in both written and spoken English”

American Indians (non-PC that I am) are already citizens.

Who does it hurt to have state-sponsored education in the Hawaiin language in Hawaii?

No one – until they move out of Hawaii. I just don’t think the federal government should pay for it – It’s a State’s rights issue if the state wants to.
