It doesn't happen overnight. You stand to lose a lot if the initiative passes. If there's no bilingual programs, you don't have a job. A lot of people will often say that bilingual education is just a jobs program. I don't know of one bilingual educator in this state who would be without a job today if bilingual education were totally eliminated.
Bilingual teachers can teach in English too.
They teach English language development every day and California has an incredible shortage of teachers right now, especially with class-size reduction. I've seen the paid people out there collecting signatures. It's likely they'll collect all they need. It's likely it will get on the ballot. If it passes, I hope there's some kind of constitutional challenge to it by one of the advocacy organizations.
