BOISE, Idaho (AP) - Two Boise elementary schools will be offering dual language programs to students when classes begin next fall. The Boise School Board of Trustees approved the programs earlier this week for Whittier and Whitney elementary schools.
Under the plan, teachers will provide and English/Spanish program in morning and afternoon kindergarten classes at both schools. Administrators can then expand the programs in subsequent years.

I don’t know if you thought of this as I did, but why is there such a big push to institute two languages in the United States? Not only do you see it in the media, but you also see it in schools, which are government institutions. Not only “why”, but “who” is doing this? Who is it that wants the United States to speak Spanish?
For example, the Ford Foundation commonly works to promote the publication in Spanish:
Creative Communications
(Boise, ID)
$100,000
To pioneer the development of a
Spanish language state news service
in Idaho, Oregon and Washington.
This is a commonly supported program on the part of the Ford Foundation.
We all know that charitable organizations, such as the Ford Foundation, are all about helping people. However, the issue of a forced dual language throughout any society does not help that nation. This is because those who come from the outside never quite fit in.
No Speak English, A Life of Drudgery
The average Spanish-speaking person who comes to this country will also be doomed to a life of drudgery and work. Although those who head up these organizations have every good intention, they empower Spanish-speaking people to remain on the outside of success. You must fluently speak English in the U.S. to be successful in business, work, and in other areas–unless the intent is to make Spanish the main language by virtue of a growing Spanish-speaking population.
If all of this were to simply remain voluntary and among media and foundation types, that would be one thing. But the fact is, once such a humanitarian effort in the U.S. becomes a standard, then it becomes law. Part of that process involves our courts. Once a number of judgements go in favor of those who promote Spanish as a quasi-official national language, then it becomes the norm, which not only is bad for Spanish-speaking people, but it’s doubly bad for home-grown U.S. citizens.
Conservatives Remain Silent as Salvation Army Bears English Language Lawsuit
(ASHEVILLE, N.C.) - After top Republican Presidential Candidates spent weeks attempting to convince voters that they are the most conservative of the group, all have remained mum on a winning issue for Conservatives: the right of businesses and faith-based organizations to require employees to speak English while on the job.
My position is clear. English should be made the official language of the United States. English language should be a requirement for citizenship and a requirement in any job where two spoken languages would be a safety or customer service problem. The American people and the conservative leadership have become so worn down by the politically correct police that we cannot even stand in the gap for a Christian organization that does nothing but help others across the globe. What does that say about us and our leaders?

If this is allowed to happen, if the Salvation Army loses this court case, you can bet the effects will be so far reaching that you and I have no concept of it. The very idea that a U.S. organization can’t require its employees to speak English well enough to converse with the common English citizen is absolutely nuts.
Many countries have taken a stand on their own national lanague, why not this country? Who’s stopping this and why are they interfering with what makes good, common sense? Why do supposed conservatives like our current President support anything and everything but their own home-grown people?
Not a single Top Republican Candidate has publicly weighed in on this issue or expressed support for the Salvation Army, which is currently being sued by the EEOC for requiring its employees to speak English. Yet, 77 percent of Americans agree that businesses have the right to demand their employees speak English while on the clock. Moreover, a summer 2006 Rasmussen poll stated that 85 percent of Americans (92 percent of Republicans and 79 percent of Democrats) believe English should be the official language of the United States.
A Nation Divided
What about the other 23% of Americans who believe that 
businesses should be forced to hire employees who can’t speak a lick of English? What has brought them to this point? How is it that they fail to see the obvious–that by not requiring immigrants to eventually learn English we doom them to a somewhat low-grade life of low-grade jobs–unless all of this is about money.
We know that the media is being heavily used to move the mindset of the American people from a common sense, traditional position to that of a multi-cultural, International flavor of thinking.
Why is this happening? Who’s behind this push to move Americans leftward from a more conservative, united approach to business, personal relationships, as well as governmental issues? Everyday we’re becoming more and more a nation devided–a nation with divided interests. And we all know that a nation with divided interests is a nation poised to fall. Look at history, such as the ancient Rome.
Big Business
It’s quite possible that big business is behind this, pushing the issue of allowing a porous border benefits their own pocketbooks because they will continue to have a ready source of low-income workers–workers who come here to improve their lives but only find a life where they–the Mr. and the Mrs.–often have to work two jobs to make ends meet.
This effort to institute a multi-cultural environment did not happen over night. It began in government as most radial movements do. It began with requiring multiple languages in all U.S. governmental dealings. It involved acceptance in hiring practices, recruitment issues, then in contracts between government and private companies and organizations. For all I know it could have begun with a single presidential executive order.
Let’s Hear From You
The who, what, when, how, and where may not seem all that important to most of us, but it would answer a lot of questions. If you have any recollections regarding these five elements as it relates to the effort to institute a multi-cultural, dual-language environment in government as well as the private sector, perhaps you’ll be kind enough to leave a comment for the benefit of all.
