The US students, employees, companies, and other organizations have to work together internationally.  In order to do so, it is helpful to know several languages, to be exposed to several cultures, and to view your own thinking in the context of it not being the only thinking.  English-only drives like this are a way to try to isolate ourselves and eventually limit ourselves.

Instead of passing “English-only” laws, we should be promoting multiple languages.
