Arizonans for Official English says govern-
ifflents can regulate their employees’ speech
while they are on duty.
'Making English our official language recognizes
jthe unique role of a common language in society,”
*aid Daphne Magnuson of U.S. English, an advocacy
group supporting the Arizona amendment.
But Stephen Montoya, lawyer for Arizonans
Against Constitutional Tampering, which opposes
the amendment, said, “If the First Amendment pro
tects anything it protects someone’s right to choose
the words in which they speak.”
“English-only is about, I think, prejudice,”
particularly against Hispanics and Asians, Mon
toya said. His group noted in court papers that
the nation’s motto, “e pluribus unum” — out of
many, one — is in Latin, not English.
The Arizona amendment says English is “the lan
guage of the ballot, the public schools and all gov
ernment functions and actions.”
The amendment, which applies to all government
officials and employees when they are on govern
ment business, says the state “shall act in English
no other language,” with some exceptions.
Other languages can be used to help students
learn English, teach foreign languages, comply
with federal laws, protect public health or safety,
or protect the rights of criminal defendants or
crime victims.
The amendment was challenged in federal court
in 1988 by Maria-Kelly F. Yniguez, then a state em
ployee who dealt with residents who filed medical
malpractice claims against the state.
Official English
The Supreme court is studying whether states can make English their official
language, requiring most government actions be taken in English.
States that have some form of offictal-English laws:

efforts have been geared toward
solving this problem, it still ex
ists, and we’re not the only
state that has this problem.”
Matott said the center is im
portant because it helps com
munities and the state, as well
as individuals.
Raising an individual’s liter
acy rate often helps them to
live and fare better, he said.
Dr. Don Seaman, center di
rector, said the center publish
es a newsletter four times a
year, which is mailed to more
than 8,000 literacy counselors,
instructors and teachers across
the state.
Seaman said one of the cen
ter’s main goals is to reduce the
number of illiterate adults, not
only in Texas, but in the country.
According to a brochure pub
lished by the center, Texas has
one of the highest percentages of
adults, age 18-64, who lack basic
literacy skills, and in 1990,
Texas ranked 46th among the 50
states in literacy skills for citi
zens over the age of 20.
In addition, Texas has one of
the lowest state and local ex
penditures for adult education
in the country.
Seaman said that at the time
the center was being estab
lished, a high number of stu
dents were dropping out of
school and a significantly lower
number of students went on to
get high school diplomas or an
equivalent.
In fact, according to the
center’s publication, almost
one-third of Texas youths do
not have their diploma or an
equivalent when entering the
“adult-world.”
