Ruling: English-only sign at cheesesteak shop not discriminatory

The Associated Press
4:08 PM EDT, March 19, 2008

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - A Philadelphia agency has ruled that English-only signs at a famous cheesesteak shop are not discriminatory.

The Commission on Human Relations ruled Wednesday that the sign at Geno's Steaks does not violate the city's Fair Practices Ordinance.

Joe Vento posted the signs at his shop in October 2005. They read "This is AMERICA: WHEN ORDERING 'PLEASE SPEAK ENGLISH.'"

Critics alleged that the policy discourages customers of certain backgrounds from eating there. They say the signs discourage non-English speakers from going to the shop.

Vento says he has never refused service to anyone because they couldn't speak English.

We should really just declare that English is the official American language & be done with this (no, we have no official language). The last thing we need is to splinter our country even more.

I fail to understand why our government has refused to make english the official language here. It's ridiculous, as if we should all need to learn another language so they can understand us.
