http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/Speakenglish/ I should not have to learn spanish to live in Texas. Common sense dictates that if I move to another country because I feel it will help both myself and my family, then I should learn that countries language. It makes NO sense at all to expect them to speak mine, especially if I am trying to gain citizenship. If I moved to China tommorow because I wanted a better life, would it be realistic to think that the chinese people would speak enlish for me?

My family came from mexico and we all worked hard to learn the english language. I will never forget my background and culture but i do agree if mexicanos decide to move to america we must learn english for respect of the country giving us these opportunities!! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/Speakenglish/#sig4400094 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/Speakenglish/#sig4318736 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/Speakenglish/#sig3939225 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Spansih people are completely ridiculous. At my highschool only about 15 percent of the students are spanish and they act like they own the school. They always have too stop right in front of you in the hallways like theyre sooo much more important and talk about their 20 year old honda civics, and fresh kicks. They have no morals, and act like theyre from the most inner city place ever. I can\'t bear to hear them speak spanish like its no problem at all if your in America why wouldnt you speak English like all my ancestors learned to do. I don\'t have a problem with any other racial minority but these people are just plain ignorant. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/Speakenglish/#sig3917258 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST You are in amercia we speak english why should i have to learn dumb reatared spanish!You don\'t see other ethinic groups having their butts kissed like the spanish people do!The official language of america is ENGLISH so learn it. You people that speak spanish are annoying!What are you doing for me? You lie to the government to get help that you dont need! LEARN ENGLISH YOU PIECES OF TRASH and if you dont like it go back to your home land you stupid roaches http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/Speakenglish/#sig3906051 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this, but I think making a petition like this will make people not take this site seriously. There is no point in this, because this would be considered discrimination if a law was made against it. But I support that they should learn the language, just disagree with the way you're using this website. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/Speakenglish/#sig3888427 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST our company is being over run by spics. yip,yip,yip!! all day long . Welcome to America!!speak Enhlish. Or get the hell out!!!! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/Speakenglish/#sig3808891 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/Speakenglish/#sig3800018 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/Speakenglish/#sig3763663 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I FULLY SUPPORT THIS!!! I am of an Italian heritage. When my grandmother came over she did not know much english, but she worked hard at for years and except when teaching Italian to others she speaks english in front of people out of respect for Americans, because she would expect that if we went there that we should be able to communicate in Italian. I think this should also apply in schools, this is not so much that they are stupid or don't know the language, it is that they are ignorant. They are somehow covered by a language discrimination law so that you can not even ask them to please speak English even if you know that they are quite fluent in it or you will receive repercussions. However, it is legal in a workplace environment to set a rule that english must be spoken in the workplace to keep harmony. We need to step down on some of these laws and stop giving every person that walks over the borders protection. We don't even protect our own people anymore. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/Speakenglish/#sig3693250 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I went to party, where everyone else was Latino except me. (My boyfriend is Latino.) There were Latinos there that were bilingual (Spanish/English) but still chose to speak Spanish anyway even though they knew I don't speak Spanish. This would happen even if I was sitting *right next to them*. Their attitude was,
