76. Didn't they try this in Canada?
The French Canadians to their credit fought back by refusing to speak English until Toronto backed down. English is already the official language by default here in the USA. All official documents are in English. Laws are passed in English. What more do English speaking Americans want?

I think what they want is to destroy the hispanic culture and languages like they tried to destroy the Native American culture and languages in the nineteenth century, and the African culture of the slaves before then. All have had unpleasant consequences.
