ACLU Targets NY Town's English-Only Law

ACLU: “The English language is not under attack in Jackson or anywhere else in the state or country,” said Melanie Trimble, director of the NYCLU’s Capital Region Chapter. “This misguided law prohibits a vast array of constitutionally protected speech and unfairly discriminates against anyone with limited English skills who tries to conduct business with the town; whether they wish to report a crime or testify in local court, speak to a school official about their child’s education or obtain a building permit.”
