Introducing our Latest Episode with Dr. Bill Rivers: Examining the Recent Executive Order Declaring English as the Official Language of the U.S.
Join us as we examine a pressing and timely issue—the recent executive order designating English as the official language of the United States. In this episode, we’ll explore the historical context behind the absence of a designated state language in the U.S. Constitution and the various statutes that protect against discrimination based on national origin and ensure equal access to information. We'll discuss important laws like Title VI, Section 1557, and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), explaining their origins and significance.
We’ll also analyze the economic consequences of this executive order for the language industry and its broader impact on the economy as a whole. Further, we will assess how this executive order could affect communities across the nation.
Join Elena Petrova as she engages with Dr. Bill Rivers, Principal at WP Rivers & Associates and Chair of the SAFE-AI Task Force (SAFE-AI TF) to unpack that this policy change means for millions of Americans and the language industry
