[T]he people demanding that English be recognized as an essential part of our culture are the same folks who call some of us elitist for snickering about the fact that our President cannot speak...say it with me...the English language.

But when recent immigrants speak English with limited fluency, that is a threat that needs immediate remedy.

An interesting library decision and Ebonics are both woven into SteveG's argument.
