So say the backers of English Only:

Attorneys supporting English Only will file a lawsuit in Chancery Court this afternoon challenging the Davidson County Election Commission’s vote to keep the charter amendment off the November ballot. Jonathan Crisp, an English Only supporter, said attorney Jim Roberts planned to file today and would seek an expedited ruling so the proposed charter amendment could still appear on the Nov. 4 ballot … Crisp vowed to take the legal challenge to the Tennessee Supreme Court if necessary.

Imagine what English Only supporters might accomplish if they directed their time, energy and money toward positive outcomes, such as outreach to immigrants regarding the benefits of learning English and developing ways that make it easier for them to do so. What a novel concept: Welcoming people to our community rather than kicking them in the teeth for having the gall to choose to live in Nashville.
