This executive order, Trump’s latest linguistic power play, is not just about making English official—it’s a flagrant assault on linguistic diversity, an attempt to stamp out the vibrant tapestry of languages that define America. But why stop at English? Why not also make it the official language of thought, as it seems to be the only one Trump speaks fluently. The claim that this will ‘promote unity’ is laughable, more like a thinly veiled attempt to divide and conquer. It’s a step back into a bygone era, where the language of the majority was the only one that counted, conveniently forgetting the countless immigrants who’ve enriched our country with their languages and cultures. This policy is as outdated as a flip phone, and as effective in fostering civic engagement as a ‘how-to’ guide in pig Latin.
