Texas Town Drops English as Official Language
1 Dec 2017
A North Texas city dropped English as its official language, a move dubbed by its mayor as heralding in a “new day†that was “welcoming†and “inclusive.â€
On Tuesday evening, the city council of Farmers Branch voted unanimously to repeal a 2006 ordinance that declared English as the municipality’s official language. That policy stated all city business must be conducted in English, the “common language†of Texas and the United States and said “the use of a common language removes barriers of misunderstanding†and enables “civic participation of all citizens, regardless of national origin, creed, race.â€
