Whitehouse.gov has removed all Spanish language content.

No word on whether this is just temporary...

I agree, this is one of only a few countries without an official language.

If someone is new to the language or in a foreign country wanting to learn more about this great shining city on the hill then this won't make it easy for them to learn more. Alternate languages on signs were a huge help for me while visiting Europe. Can't see what the purpose would be aside from being a backward step.

I do like this....I deal with people (non-Hispanic) that don't speak a lick of English and its a nightmare to communicate. Mostly eastern Europeans...don't even try. Google saves my butt usually but makes me nervous to have a group of potential law breakers talking amongst themselves and I can't understand.....scares the nutella out of me.

I do see this point, we were in Quebec Canada on vacation a few years back mostly French speak there, glad everything was in English and French....but still would rather go a little tougher on this than softer.
