Read attached Arbitration: City of Altus on the English-Only Rule Case
And Answer the following questions:
Time to decide
Based upon the evidence you have been given, you are to conduct any research you need to better understand the laws in question, and make a decision determining:
1) Is the policy in violation of the US Civil Rights Acts, which states that discrimination because of race/ethnicity and national origin is illegal? Explain why or why not?
2) How would you rule, if you did find the policy, and thus the City of Altus, discriminatory?
3) What changes, if any, would you recommend so that the City’s policy was still reaching the same objectives it desired (trying to prevent accidents with heavy machinery, trying to make others not feel like they are being talked about and persecuted in another language) but seemed less discriminatory? Explain.
