In what can only be described as stupidity, the Denver public LIbrary has decided to make 7 branches 'Hables Espaniol'. They are banishing english books to the back rooms and going with a spanish motif.
While this may seem like a 'feel good' policy, in actual fact it is just another attempt to keep a minority down. It is stupidity at its worse.
There is nothing wrong with speaking spanish. Indeed, I speak a very little and my wife is also fluent in it. But if Spanish is the only thing you are going to speak, you are not going to get very far in the USA. Mexico? Sure! You can become president there, but not in the USA. By coddling spanish only speakers, these denizens of dunce have decided that apparently America does not have enough janitors and yard workers, so we must cultivate a permanent underclass. One that will be happy with their low standard of living and never aspire to better themselves in this country.
For that is what they are doing. It is another example of a PCism that I am sure is being done for all the right reasons, but the effect is to create a permanent low income group of people. And that is by far worse than any 'feel goodism' that can come of this idiotic attempt.
So chalk another one up for the ignoramuses that poo-poo the citizens trying to make the official language of the US, english (one of only a handful of countries in the world that does not have an official language by the way). No, those who look to raise all the boats instead of lower the water are just a bunch of small minded jingoistic racists who would deny every culture their right to live in isolation and poverty in the richest country in the world.
Losers is now spelled Denver Public Libraries.
