The U.S. Senate yesterday approved S. Res. 458<\/a>, a bill that:<\/p>\n

…affirms that statements or songs that symbolize the unity of the Nation, including the National Anthem, the Oath of Allegiance sworn by new United States citizens, and the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States, should be recited or sung in English, the common language of the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n

Particularly troubling is the vague wording that applies this law to, “statements or songs”<\/em> beyond those enumerated in the bill. How exactly is that determined? The only criteria is that the item, “symbolize the unity of the nation.”<\/em> What other statements or songs would would this bill apply to?<\/p>\n
