To amend the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to ensure

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

are not used to promote the teaching or use of regional
or group dialects.

tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following:
(1) Individuals who speak standard English can
secure jobs and function effectively in society in the

communicate effectively in standard English have
more difficulty obtaining jobs, reading publications,
securing an adequate education, and otherwise func-
tioning effectively in society in the United States.
(b) PURPOSE.—The purpose of this Act is to ensure
that students are taught, in public elementary and second-
ary schools throughout the United States, to communicate
in standard English and that a school makes no special
effort to promote special or pronounced dialectic idiosyn-
crasies or regional dialects.
SEC. 2. PROHIBITION.
Part E of title 14 of the Elementary and Secondary
Education Act of 1965 is amended by adding at the end
the following:
‘‘SEC. 14515. PROHIBITION ON PROMOTING REGIONAL DIA-
LECTS.
‘‘None of the funds authorized under this Act may
be used, directly or indirectly, for instruction (including
teacher training programs), instructional materials, or any
other expense related to the promotion of teaching or
using dialects peculiar to a region or group within the pop-
ulation of the United States, except that—
‘‘(1) a teacher may be trained and may use and
teach foreign languages; and
‘‘(2) a teacher may communicate in his own
mode of speech if no special effort is made to teach
or encourage students to communicate in such mode
of speech.’’.
