Under new rules put forth by the Obama administration, it’s now considered discriminatory for companies in the U.S. to require that employees speak English, but it’s OK to require that workers speak a foreign language.
The new enforcement guideline is meant to crack down on “national origin discrimination” in the workplace, because according to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the American workforce is “increasingly ethnically diverse.”
“The increased cultural diversity of today’s workplaces presents new and evolving issues with respect to Title VII’s protection against national origin discrimination,” the EEOC writes. “This enforcement guidance will assist EEOC staff in their investigation of national origin discrimination charges and provide information for applicants, employees, and employers to understand their respective rights and responsibilities under Title VII.”
So how did this rule come about? Judicial Watch breaks it down:
Two years ago, the administration laid the foundation for the new measures by suing a private American business for discriminating against Hispanic and Asian employees because they didn’t speak English on the job. The case involved a Green Bay Wisconsin metal and plastic manufacturer that fired a group of Hmong and Hispanic workers over their English skills. Forcing employees to speak English in the U.S. violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the EEOC claimed in its lawsuit. That’s because the Civil Rights Act protects employees from discrimination based on national origin, which includes the linguistic characteristics of a national origin group. Therefore, the EEOC argued, foreigners have the right to speak their native language even during work hours at an American company that requires English.
Also included in the rules are new discrimination categories such as using Social Security requirements to screen applicants and relying on “word-of-mouth recruiting,” which the EEOC states could “magnify existing ethnic, racial or religious homogeneity in a workplace and result in the exclusion of qualified applicants from different national origin groups.”
According to Judicial Watch, the enforcement guidelines are another example of the Obama administration “strong-arm[ing] businesses and government agencies into adopting [their] leftist agenda and inflated standards of political correctness.”
Directions to Obama Regime:
1. Go home.
2. Sit down.
3. Shut up.
Thanks Bump!
Just more social engineering to destroy unity and the USA——to create the tower of Babel.
All the pscychopthic Freemason sodomites want to erase EVERYTHING which created the US Constitution-—Culture (Christianity), Borders, and Language (English). It is all to condition children (repeat the lies over and over until it becomes the truth—Hitler) so they are incapable of Reason and Logic——will just “know” by being “programmed” with the “truth” LOL.
No other “worldview” in the World could have created the US Constitution and the Founding Documents, than the English culture. The Magna Carta, Common Law, John Locke, etc., were ALL English constructs. Voltaire, when he had to flee prison for the Nth time in France was STUNNED by the amount of Freedom exercised by the English common man, compared to the Fascist French system of proto-Marxism (radical egalitarianism).
Will Soetero start? He’s multi lingual speaking,leftie Alinsky libbie, choom, ghetto south, Chicago street and stutter.
These rules are put in place with full knowledge that Trump will reverse them, giving the left something to whine about. That’s all this is.

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Patriots, please bear in mind that the real problem with this issue is the following imo. Since the states have never expressly constitutionally delegated to the feds the specific power to establish language policy for INTRAstate workers, corrupt Congress is once again wrongly letting lawless Obama get away with stealing state powers to harrass the sovereign states.
So if an applicant to be a police dispatcher can’t speak English, that isn’t grounds for not hiring them?
Actually:
39 days
943 hours
56627 minutes
3397657 seconds
;>)
I like that even better!
If you do not speak English, I am not hiring you, no matter what the clown says.
Notice by the EEOC dated 11/18/16. It seems like forever until January 20th.
Using the terminology of Clown Prince nobama, requiring someone show-up for work...and do the work...is “discriminatory”. Lunatics. 40 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dear Hussein Obama....
YOU managed to learn English when you infiltated into USA
what makes you think all the other foreigners you’ve been brining in Can’t learn English?
I would never hire anybody for any customer-contact job or emergency services job... that couldn’t speak English.
It would be just plain STUPID (or dangerous, or both).
Discriminating against incompetence is good. Not speaking English in America is incompetence
Incompetence is being Obama
**Under new rules put forth by the Obama administration, it’s now considered discriminatory for companies in the U.S. to require that employees speak English**
No, it’s not discriminatory!
Yes, president Ebonics Hussein, you tell em boy.
Totally agree, it's simply common sense that English should be spoken in the USA.
I wonder where they notion that all discriminatory practices are bad. That just isn’t the case.
Sometimes that would be a marginal description of the gibberish I have heard from those call centers.
