There are also no laws that protect the flag. Only guidelines.

Got 29 of 30
Blew it on the amendments.
A few states have an official lanquage.
Arizona - a state that is like 40% or more latino has or had an official language as english pass in recent years. Thats one way to reduce half the vioices among us. I think they still publish official government info in both spanish and english though.
Funny that very few current residents were ever native to the area. They just wanted it to be like back home.

It never changed because it never was the official language. It is just the most spoken next to Potty Mouth

Got the official language one wrong, even though I really thought it was none, and picked English anyway.
The story as I heard it on "official" language was back in the day, a vote was going to be taken to decide whether to use English or German. The powers that were wanted English, so held the vote on a day that they knew all the German's would be out drinking.
Danke,
Steve

Life may not be good, but I think it beats the alternative, and if it doesn't, we'll find out soon enough
