[native texan]

I don't blame the mayor. Here is south central Texas, we have a very large non-English speaking population. I think it is arrogant of them not to learn English. Also, yesterday my husband and I went to the local mall...I hadn't been since Christmas shopping. It was amazing how many of the women running the kiosks wore covering over their hair. I decided I am not buying anything from anyone who has their hair (and more) covered with a large piece of cloth.

We are quickly losing our heritage.

We are quickly losing our heritage.

You are absolutely right. The majority of Americans (thanks to our Political Class this will no doubt change) don't want this and see the danger of American being downgraded to the level European nations have fallen. It's all about immigration and the fact that the ranks become diluted with those who hate our nation before they get here and the fact that the gates are opened to the dimwits.

We have a large Mennonite and "reform" Mennonites (slightly less legalistic) here in middle GA. That rule wouldn't benefit me at all here, to the contrary, I'd miss out on a lot of fresh fruits and veggies. :(

"We are quickly losing our heritage."

That's somewhat of a befuddling statement from someone with your handle.

Can you tell me of a time in this nation's, or your State's, history when Spanish was NOT one of the languages spoken?

That heritage you're talking about included social constraints for women to .. cover their heads with large pieces of cloth. Unless, of course, you are TRULY a native Texan- I don't think the Comanche or Kiowa women wore bonnets.

Seriously, this is ridiculous. It's a free country and a free market. If they want to market to Spanish speaking customers what is the problem? Are we going to outlaw menus in French or German next?

Are you near El Cenizos?......I understand this is place where once there was a hispanic majority they decided to use spanish as the main language for all public meetings which I'm sure will be the case soon in other SW cities as the the La Razan's gain more control.

It's state law in Texas that anyone dealing in food products MUST cover their hair isn't it? That's why the workers at all the fast food places were those corporate ball caps.
