News to me. I thought English already was our official language. Just as with aviation, I’ve been told, all the commands and responses for pilots is taught in English, so that internationally, everyone up there is theoretically able to communicate. I don’t know if this is still the case today. Probably not. The ‘Patriarchy’ connection may be problematic for some new pilots.
So why doe California bring ballots in 50 or 60 languages?
English as the official language has been derailed for years by democrats having learned their tactics from the Tower of Babble story in the Bible.
“I thought English already was our official language.”
The US has no “official” language. It has been attempted to put English in the position but it wasn’t voted in. It didn’t arrive in the US until the first European settlers in the 14 to 1500’s.
The first thought to be people arrived around eleven and a half thousand years ago when the Clovis People crossed a land bridge into what is now Alaska. They spoke early Russian and were hunters.
The predominant language in the US is now English but for a couple of hundred years after the Europeans arrive it was a few Mexican indian languages mixed with Spanish. English is considered the language of business world wide so we use it a lot. But if you’ll notice, many countries are using their original language as a second to English now.
I’ve flown into Mexico and Canada and very few times is there a problem with language at major airports. It’s only the small ones that you’re getting Spanish in Mexico and French in Canada used. At least the US was smart enough not to put Sicilian in Chicago.

It’s standard, but not official. It should be.
And then have everything printed in English only. Receiving five pages of gobbledegook when one will do is insane, and expensive.
