that the legislation of one language as the sole compulsory 'official' language is effectively to ban all others from 'official' use ..... why would human beings do such a thing, what possible benefit could there be in blocking off communication with those whose distinct tongue the banners are too lazy or incompetent to learn?
I don't think that making English the "official" language means you are banning other languages or even discouraging their use. I fully support bilingual programs and programs perserving rich cultural legacies.
it is entirely practical to provide government services in english and spanish both,
Services should be provided regardless of language and if language assistance is needed for spanish speaking only, then I support providing it.
and personally i would make them both essentials of a basic education ...
I'm not against that, but it should be optional, and I believe it is optional to take spanish at most schools. I'd like to see languages offered in the earlier grades and emphasized more. But I don't see that as a conflict with English as official.
