Check your own state constitution, and I'll bet you find that this is already well covered.

Oh stop.

They can’t read...erh, they are completely happy being conciously and purposely incompetent, for the sole purpose of mangling the white man’s engrish, to suit their ends.

Excellent point, EV!
(And one I don’t hesitate to point out.)

Here’s the problem. Jurisdiction is generally vested in an administrative “Civil Rights Commission.” This is who goes after the florist or photographer who refuses to participate in a homosexual wedding.

The power of these commissions is generally limited to enforcing the anti-discrimination statutes. Here is the kicker. Most of them are BARRED from considering First Amendment or State constitution defenses to the claims, on the ground that they lack jurisdiction and those defenses can only be asserted in a court action.

So the “offender” is tried and convicted without the ability to raise a defense. Now ultimately, you theoretically have the right to go to court after the commission has held you liable, but that can be years after they first go after you, and in the meantime, you have lost your business and have paid a fortune to lawyers to defend you. Plus, once you take it to court you are faced with a whole body of law that says the courts are generally supposed to defer to administrative rulings.
