“This is Alabama. We speak English. Learn it.”
—Tim James, a Republican candidate for governor of Alabama. James’ campaignposted this ad on YouTube last week (with disabled comments, presumably to avoid any commentary in languages other than English), getting at the most important issues in his state, which has 11 percent unemployment and among the lowest educational attainment rates in the nation.
Pardon my French, but Fuck you sir.. The exam is given in 12 languages because you apparently have a diverse community out there in Alabama (though I can’t imagine any of those people with such a rich history wanting to stay if you are elected governor). This is just ridiculous sir, please check your priorities (education maybe???) and then recall this ridiculous commercial.
