Towards a hopelessly handicapped society

Failing to translate from English to Spanish is being called discrimination in a lawsuit.

Ribota said she was injured at work because she couldn’t read a warning sign that was in English.

“If I could speak English I wouldn’t have the problems that exist,” said Ribota.

Last week 12 custodians from the Auraria Campus filed an EEOC complaint against the Auraria Higher Education Center, which is the organization that maintains the campus for Metro State University of Denver, the Community College of Denver and the University of Colorado Denver.

“What is sort of a neutral business practice, that they speak English on campus and it’s an English-only campus has a discriminatory impact on this group of workers,” said attorney Tim Markham.

What’s next? Will failing to speak Spanish be called “discrimination”?

The malevolent bureaucratic classes just revel in their power to destroy.

    Evidently our betters speak a dialect of Mandarin. Not so much the language. But the attitude.

    this is the vibrancy that mass migration from the third world brings. i thought that is what libertarians want, open borders? this is what you get. invite the third world, become the third world.
