Let’s end the week with some good news for a change.

Denizens, you guys remember the brouhaha that ensued last year when this restauranteur in Philly caught flak for hanging the sign in his shop that read “This Is America – When Ordering, Speak English”?

The City’s so-called “Commission on Human Relations” – so-called because their purpose is to see that all humans get a fair shake except&#160 the right-thinkers and producers in this country – had a hearing on whether to subject said restauranteur to legalized official oppression.

Now the good news:&#160 They decided not to.

The owner of a famous cheesesteak shop did not discriminate when he posted signs asking customers to speak English, a city panel ruled Wednesday.

In a 2-1 vote, a Commission on Human Relations panel found that two signs at Geno’s Steaks telling customers, “This is America: WHEN ORDERING ‘PLEASE SPEAK ENGLISH,'” do not violate the city’s Fair Practices Ordinance.

[…]

Commissioners Roxanne E. Covington and Burt Siegel voted to dismiss the complaint, finding that the sign does not communicate that business will be “refused, withheld or denied.”

Which is exactly right.&#160 When someone comes in who can’t speak English, owner Joe Vento helps the customer with the English he needs to order.

A Philly cheesesteak and an English lesson for a reasonable price.&#160 Such a deal.

Good on Joey Vento.&#160 And a “Took you morons long enough” for the so-called “Commission on Human Relations”.
