WEDNESDAY, JUNE 18, 2003 A trial is underway in Alaska over a challenge to the state's English only law. Alaska Native villages say the law is discriminatory. They won a lower court ruling that tossed the law. The Alaska Supreme Court is hearing an appeal of the case. Alaskans for a Common Language say it is just "symbolic" and doesn't actually force state agencies to do business in English. Get the Story:
