The German language in the German constitution?

The Society of the German Language wants German to be enshrined in the country's constitution, the Basic Law. The conservative daily considers this measure unnecessary: "In everyday life [the German language] sometimes rears its uglier head. It is not just the gibberish spoken by the children of immigrants that is horrendous. Many people talk in incomplete sentences, can no longer spell and do not like reading - a phenomenon for which the digital era is also no doubt to blame. ... On top of this the language is peppered with Anglicisms. ... Many educated people get annoyed about this and set up associations to save the German language. ... But could it not be that what is supposed to come across as a sign of self-confidence ... is more a sign of lacking confidence, or even of desperation? Even countries with such passages in their constitutions continue to have the problems mentioned above. Legislation ... cannot improve actual usage. We should leave our Basic Law as basic as it is now."
