An Anthem for All
Posted By Ardellis on May 9, 2006
I’ve been watching the hullabaloo over the singing of the US national anthem in Spanish, and, honestly, I’m appalled. The main complaint seems to stem from some stupid notion that real Americans speak only English. Well, wake up, boys and girls, because the United States is already and continues to become even more polyglot with every passing day. You can’t hold back the earth’s rotation, and you can’t prevent our society from becoming multilingual. Attempts to prevent it just make you look like bigots.
I understand that change is scary. It is also inevitable. Deal with it.
