(Christopher Agee) In a bizarre twist on civil rights legislation, the Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission under Barack Obama is filing a federal
lawsuit against a Wisconsin company for its requirement that employees use
English at work.
The legal action came after a number of Hispanic and Asian workers were
fired because they could not or would not speak English, a decision the
EEOC said amounted to discrimination.
Using the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the commission found that the
linguistic characteristics of a national origin group are included in the
protections contained therein.
In an interview with CNS News, the Spanish media liaison at Judicial Watch
offered her take on the ludicrous suit.
If you are a private company in the United States, Irene Garcia said, you
should be able to require your employees to speak English.
