in other languages but Greek is not usually among them. Unless there
is a big chunk of this that we are not hearing, his case is without
merit. I applaud his wish to preserve his culture but you really can't
expect every group to produce materials in every language, nor, in the
context of the United States, should there be a mandate to do so.
However where there is a significant group of a given culture (for
example Navajos or New Mexico Hispanics) then they should be able to
use their own language if they want to do so.

Subject: How do you feel about non-english speaking citizens?
To: CF-Community <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I just got annoyed by a thread from another list.
A 40 year old man, born in the US, does not speak any English, just
Greek. He knows some English, but refuses to use it. He apparently is
suing a business group he belongs to because they have the audacity to
conduct their meetings and publish all their literature in English.
Does this raise anyone else's hackles?
