I don't think I ever thought that I would say this, but way to go Nashville.

Voters in Nashville on Thursday rejected a proposal that would have made the country music capital the largest U.S. city to make English the official language of local government. Returns showed the proposition lost by 41,752 votes to 32,144, local media reported. via City of Nashville rejects English-only law | U.S. | Reuters.

Personally I find  english-only laws to be completely anti-thetical to the principles that this country was founded on. This country was built on the backs of immigrants and the mixing of cultures in this country enhances all of our lives. Nothing  positive can come from English only laws, these laws can only bring back the discrimination and segregation that we have spent the past half-century to move beyond, so I'm proud of the people of Nashville, or at least of the voters that turned out to make sure that cultural freedom is alive and well, even in the deep south.
