This article is kind and nice but the fact is the Salvation Army is not the Christian place you make them seem. In the past 10 years they have become more and more corrupt and will prob be made accountable for many more litigations against them. Non Profits like this are getting away with murder today and the image of the bell ringer is cute but not at all accurate (it is a marketing image). The Salvation Army has taken a Corporate Approach to much of the everyday business. This organization gets donations in the area of hundreds of thousands willed to them every month and much much more. You sound like a nice person but I doubt that you have all the information and would change your mind if you did. Unfortunately I do not have the time to help you understand better that your not seeing the big picture and that the last comment is much more accurate regarding the individuals being smarter than they seem. In California its just the opposite in that the illegals have found many footholds in our non profits and are furthermore engaging in many illegal activities including internal theft in the millions every year out of just one territory of the Salvation Army. Your article is more about what we would like to believe than what is real. The SA might do good in the public eye but what you do not see is staggering. I am not trying to knock the good intentions of anyone but just want to be able to help bring change when needed for the better.

if one speaks english in framingham ma these days, he is a minority.
the salvation army bldg, located in downtown framingham does everything for the homeless and the poor. conducts meetings for folks with alcohol and drug problems. has a thrift shopped which is well conducted. has soup kitchens every night; dont know what transpired to have the eeoc get involved, but the women that got fired were not so dumb. if they were smart enough to go to eeoc with their complaint, are smart enough to learn english. maybe knew some english. knew where to go. unfortunate for the
Army. if it werent for them we wouldnt have anything to help poor and unfortunate in this town.

I’ve had quite enough. My pledge is that from this day forward, I will insist that service employees speak English when they are in my presence. I, too, am vulnerable to a hostile environment. I am sick to death of the notion that racism and ethnic hostility are a one-way street.

Maybe the US government should also do away with its citizenship requirement that people speak English – ??!
