Arguments Against English As Primary Language

Argument against English as primary language in United States
I. Introduction:
A. The greatness of the United States, as a country starts with its “First Amendment”, which gives freedom to the citizens and residents of this country. The most important of these are the freedom of speech and the freedom to exercise religion. Making one language as the primary languge goes against this freedom of speech.

So when we talk about a country like the USA, it is morally wrong to impose one language as a primary language on its citizens and residents.
