PING!
So, being able to communicate with fellow employees and customers can no longer be a job requirement?
Great precedent. Maybe they can apply it to an air traffic controller. Why should he/she have to learn English?
The employees are probably Brazilians-—Framingham is loaded with them.
This is a great store-—I’ve made many donations,and some purchses,at that location.

They are promising that part of the shamnesty bill will be a requriement that the illegals learn English in order to become citizens.
I think this shows us just how serious they are about that.
You have finally done it!! As I read your post I totally lost my temper and my lunch appetite. When a government agency sinks to such depths that the Salvation Army becomes a target, then maybe all IS lost. As a young Jewish boy, I was told by my parents to NEVER pass a “SALLY” bell ringer, even if all I had was small change. As a young sailor, I recall the kindness done by them, quietly, steadily and constantly.
Good works, done by gentle people, without HUGE payrolls, without vast “do-good” campaigns, without “look at me” programs..are now to be judged, not by the quality of their charitable works, rather by their “POLITICAL CORRECTNESS”
I am a very large man, and when I bring donations of clothes to them, the genuine warmth of their thanks is so open and heart warming. One worker told me that they already knew who badly needed my large cast-offs and they would be given out within the week.
Now I know our government has reached bottom. How sad.
What if they worked at a computer company and were told they had to learn Visual Basic because that was the backbone of the network they would be administrating and they didn’t? A job requirement is a job requirement.
The Salvation Army is one of the very few organizations I donate money and goods to on a regular basis.
That they are now being attacked comes as no surprise.
I’ll guess that the EEOC is speaking of some program in which the Salvation Army taps into “faith-based” government money for running a program that is of community benefit.
Therefore, they think they can apply gov’t laws to gov’t programs....which they want the courts to declare that these “faith-based” programs are.
They are not, but it is always dangerous to take gov’t money.
But it's OK to tell private organizations and private companies who to hire and fire.
So I can be denied a job if it requires me to be fluent in Spanish but the Salvation Army can’t deny a job to someone because they can’t speak English??? Un-be-flipping-lievable! Let’s hope and help the Salvation Army win the lawsuit and set a precedent where the English requirement is upheld legally.
I thought that having the ability to read and speak English had long been a requirement for becoming a naturalized citizen.
This is in Rep Ed Markey’s [D-MA] district.
The DOJ should supply attys that only speak Urdu to the EEOC.
Excellent article!

Next Case.
The EEOC has sunk to a new low.
