Should America have English as their offical language? I know congress tried once but...I think it should. How can a country possible support all the languages out there? Yeesh. Besides, we should have an offical language, easier to communicate and Spanish wouldn't take over. What kind of a country doesn't have one? ._.

English is the official language of America. The only reason there's all those bi-lingual packages and what not is by the manufacturers of the product.
It isn't possible for a country to support all languages, or at least not workable.

Wikipedia is not an appropriate resource. Any one anywhere can edit it. The same reason it's not credible on this is the same reason the Evanescence page once said Amy Lee was the scorned Lesbian Lover of Britney Spears.
And that other site is information about Bilingual education adn it's problems. It does not mean that there isn't an official language for America. We have bilingual education becuase we are the major destination of immigrants, especially hispanic.
And though the site references Government sites, those sites don't even acknowledge the existance of that site.

that's what happens when someone doesn't agree with what is already in place.

She told us just the opposite last year. And it was exactly what every teacher I've ever had who approached the subject said.
And really,
why else would ENGLISH be a required class every year of your school career? Even in college.
