I'm not sure what's the most alarming - the assumption that all taxpayers want to read exlusively English language books, the assumption that anyone who speaks Spanish (even if it's in addition to English) might be illegal, or the notion that being bilingual is some sort of cultural shame and those who can communicate in multiple languages should be shunned, lest they infect the chiiiiiildren with their otherness.
