The Trump administration has implemented a series of policies emphasizing English as the sole language for various federal services and requirements. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has removed all non-English language materials from its website and agency services, aligning with an executive order from President Donald Trump to conduct agency business exclusively in English. Additionally, the administration is enforcing stricter English language requirements for commercial truck drivers, mandating that they read and speak English to maintain their commercial driver's licenses (CDLs). Failure to meet these requirements results in immediate removal from service and potential disqualification from obtaining a CDL in the future. The administration has also withdrawn federal guidance issued during the Obama administration that required schools to provide extensive services to students not proficient in English, rescinding directives related to English language learning services. These actions reflect broader efforts to prioritize English language proficiency in federal operations and public services.
The U.S. Education Department has rescinded critical guidance to schools regarding how they provide English language learning services. https://t.co/zHnvHmiW6l
You shouldn’t be able to get ANY license, much less a commercial one if you can’t speak or read the language that governs the road. https://t.co/Na1V1T3HAS
