Was at a meeting yesterday wherein speaker was discussing the complications of adding Spanish language options to their phone system. Another person at the meeting said, Aren’t we just enabling them? Shouldn’t we be expecting everyone to conduct business in English?

Since this was a meeting of several government agencies, I was pleasantly shocked!

There are still Hmong who came her during the Vietnam War who haven’t learned enough English to function because the Wisconsin and federal governments have made it so easy for them to conduct the business of their lives in their native tongue.
