The attack on America continues!
DOJ Sues Wisconsin Company, Says English-Language Requirement is 'Discrimination'. Judicial Watch reported Tuesday that the government is accusing Wisconsin Plastics, Inc. of violating Title VII of 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.”
Irene Garcia, the blog editor and Spanish media liaison for Judicial Watch, called the Government's accusation “ludicrous.”
“That’s ludicrous and an overreaching of government,” Garcia told CNSNews.com. “If you are a private company in the United States, you should be able to require your employees have the ability to speak English.” "We’ve seen some decisions that are extremely radical that we haven’t seen in the past, under Republican or Democrat administrations,” she said, claiming the government under the Obama administration is “on a roll.”
Many lawsuits brought by the government subjectively twist the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to include things it was never meant to cover, Garcia added.
“We’re seeing a lot of these kinds of law suits using his civil rights law to sue on behalf of all these different causes that I believe violate the spirit of the law,” Garcia explained.
“In terms of religious and language rights under the Civil Rights Act, that’s what the administration is using to offer and extend protects when really and truly there’s no place for them [in the law],” she said.
According to a news release from the government, Chicago Regional Attorney John C. Hendrickson said the Green Bay-based company’s English requirement is based on “superficial” reasoning. "A business that requires employees have the ability to speak English is not only outdate it's racists and the practice must be stopped"
