Duke University professor removed over 'Speak English' email (bbc.co.uk)

"and were being so impolite as to have a conversation that not everyone on the floor could understand"

what? If people are not in an institutional situation and they are having a chat on the floor how is this a problem?

the mail was really bizarre indeed.

In this political climate, saying that people in the US should speak English to help communication is not very intelligent. I'm kinda okay with a not very intelligent professor being removed from duty :P

This would have been truly hilarious if they had been speaking Pig Latin, as in: "E-hay is-yay upid-stay." "Es-yay, I-yay agree-yay ith-way uo-yay ompletely-cay!".

Our outrage is too diluted. We should pick one or two per year and focus. Otherwise progressives get laughed at for being outraged at everything.
