The Standard Deviants - Learn English as a Second Language (ESL) DVD 4-Pack

The Dare County Board of Commissioners has adopted a resolution making English the county’s official language that should be “used by all.”

The resolution, passed 4-3 last week, states that while Dare County has welcomed immigrants of “all races, religions, ethnic backgrounds and social-economic classes,” they have a difficult time “melting” into society if they cannot read or write the English language.

Commissioner Jack Shea of Southern Shores, who brought the idea to the board and helped craft the resolution, said its intent was not to cause discord among the community or any one group.
