Today, a group of Ohio bloggers is posting in a foreign language as a subtle protest to Ohio HB 477. The bill would require "the use of the English language by state and local government entities in official actions and proceedings." The protest was organized by the Ohio blog Writes Like She Talks, which has a complete list of other blogs participating in Ohio. The purpose of all these sites blogging in a different language is to show readers how exclusionary HB 477 is. I have chosen to post mine in Spanish because it is the language that most of these bills are intended to target.
