"Catch 22 on Language"

An article I wrote for National Review Online last November, "Catch-22 on Language" has some relevance to the Zita Wilensky firing. (Note: link moved to the WSVN archives this morning).

One company, now bankrupt, lost a $700,000 lawsuit over its requirement that employees speak only English on the job. A college in Texas was docked $2.44 million last year for its English-only policy. Miami-Dade's Spanish-only policy for its employees could cost it serious money.
