Logical Flaw in Law Requiring English-Only License Exams

The Tennessee House today will continue debating a bill requiring that driver's license exams be taken in English only. The bill passed the Senate last week. The Tennessean has more.

Here's the problem: If we make it difficult for non-English speakers to get driver's licenses, these persons won't be able to legally drive to ESL classes. (And no city in Tennessee is renowned for its public transportation.) The way I see it, this bill will prevent people from learning English.
