S.21-3.5: Official Language of the South Act (Law'd)

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

I don't think this bill is necessary, and in any case, the fund provisions outlined in this bill are plainly superflous. In the vast majority of contexts, it's basically impossible to, in time, not accrue and be able to use sufficient enough English if living in Atlasia. Also, the resources already exist to allow people who want to upgrade their English speaking ability to do so. This is unneeded government expenditure.
If we are going down the path where an "official language" is a thing, then Spanish deserves to be one as well, given the very long history of Spanish in this region and its presence as our largest non-English language.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

I don't see a problem with this. It's important for people to learn the main language of the country they live in.

They already do. In fact yours truly didn't even learn English first, but grew up speaking English and now it's still the only language I can have a monolingual conversation in. And I'm someone who has a lot of interest in foreign languages. しょうがない。It can't be helped. The dominance of English is overwhelming.
