Donald Trump is making US history again by signing another executive order.
This time around, he’s designating English as the official language of the USA, which has never taken place in the nation’s history.
The move is marking a major shift in federal language policy and has also overturned previous mandates needing government agencies to provide multilingual support.
As mentiond on the official page of the White House website, this executive order would not only declare English as the nation’s official language but also rescinds up to 2000 directives by former President Bill Clinton that need federal agencies and recipients of the government funding to offer language assistance services to those that don’t speak English fluently.
Under this latest policy, federal agencies can select if they wish to continue providing multilingual materials and services instead of being forced to enter into a mandate to do so.
The order emphasizes the significance of English proficiency among the immigrants and also states how learning this language opens plenty of doors economically.
It similarly assists newcomers to engage inside the community and also participate in various traditions and give back to society.
