I'm sorry but I read up about the government documents translations a while ago and I can't remember the source (it was in an actual book though). Either way, I think Wikipedia proves my point: government documents were indeed translated because Germans made up such a large portion of the population.


The main point here is that the USA currently holds a large Hispanic population:

Like I pointed out before, Hispanics already make up a large portion of the population and they speak a common language (as opposed to migrants from other areas i.e. Asia). Hence, they have the power to demand more things because they will soon become the largest minority group. 


Here is another way to look at the example you provided. Let’s say all of a sudden your children were being taught in “British English” instead of “American  English”—I would think that you too would demand change.
