German was almost our official language……….NOT!

In class today, I heard one of our ‘knowledgeable’ instructors (a GS-11)
say the age old WRONG MYTH!
And it makes me angry-angry-angry!
I am sick and tired of this MYTH!
No such bill vote was ever purposed for this!

The only vote over anything German was, In January and February 1795, to officially publish a ‘Version’ of the US Constitution in the German language, for the immigrants from Austria, and the German lands. Heck there was not even a Germany (as we know it today) at that time.

It was NOT to make the official language of the US the German language.

PLEASE forward the heck out of this. I heard it too many times, repeated by supposedly intelligent people, AND IT MAKING MR MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD.

Thanks, Jon (still angry).
