Say what?

Babel:

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), a federal agency tasked with enforcing workplace discrimination laws, is suing a private American business for firing a group of Hispanic and Asian employees over their inability to speak English at work, claiming that the English-language requirement in a U.S. business constitutes “discrimination.”

Judicial Watchreported Tuesdaythat the government is accusing Wisconsin Plastics, Inc. of violatingTitle VIIof the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination based on “national origin.” The government argues this includes the “linguistic characteristics of a national origin group.”

While this is patently ridiculous and will probably be shot down at the lower court level, the fact that it is happening at all is not a good sign for our country. I've some experience with the EEOC in recent years, and I can tell you that they excel at two things: destroying workplace morale and driving down profitability. It is a vile organization staffed by petty and spiteful bureaucrats. Chronic underachievers all, they delight in tearing down people who are successful. The EEOC represents the antithesis of what built America, and I've no doubt that it and like-minded federal organizations will ultimately succeed in bringing the country to ruin.
