Anti-bilingual propositions, and similar initiatives like the proposition 203 that passed in Arizona shows that the people of this nation refuse to be quieted. Bilingual education does not work. No more pathetic excuses we want our children to learn to understand what it is that is needed in life to succeed. We, as a people who are truly concerned, will fight to ensure ourselves that developing statistics and understanding are what we want for the future. It is much better to be bilingual in this global economy, so why do we deny the future of America the chance at a real opportunity.
Money is what it all revolves around.
Those extra grants were not given to the schools with high Latino populations that spoke and became proficient in English, but to those schools that had a high frailer rate and a large Spanish speaking population. Because it looks good politically, it makes politicians seem as if they are doing something good for our nation, instead of the actual hindrance that is caused. Millions of tax dollars that could actually help the bilingual culture are being wasted. Therefore it s better to have children suffering through useless courses that help them in no way, that way the schools get their much need funding. To be honest there is no effect of the removal of bilingual education on other cultures.
