Fox News: Some Democrats in Washington State are trying to eliminate the requirement for police officers and other public safety officials to be able to read and write in English. SB 5274 seeks to “expand eligibility in certain civil service positions to allow lawful permanent residents to apply.” In the current version passed by the state senate on March 8, the English language requirement is removed. The amended version of the bill summary now reads, “Removes the requirement that applicants for certain civil service positions must be able to read and write in English.” The bill applies to applicants for the city’s police force, city firefighters and the Sheriff’s Office. Fish and wildlife officers are also included (Fox News).

Do they have to speak English, or should we start learning how to use the translater?
