Given the history of this country, the federal government should not make that kind of a symbolic statement. It isn;t going to change anything with regard to how people communicate either among themselves or in other, more official and professional environments. The country has a lot of different groups of people in it. These groups speak different languages. Period. There is nothing that can or should be done about it. Over time, it just happened. The nation, meaning its people, should realize, understand and accept that. The desire and effort to learn the language that most people speak in ths and any other country is going to have to come from within that person if THEY feel that it will be necessary for them to live and prosper in that nation. That is the same inner motivation that is required for other types of assimilation. The federal government should not step over that line. Again, that socio-political statement such an act would make would be terrible.
