What do Texas, California, Colorado, and Florida have in common? They
were territories originally settled by the Spanish. Spanish is,
historically, the language of the first European immigrants to those
areas. Why is it so terribly unreasonable that the language of the
first settlers be considered an official language of the state,
alongside English?
