'The Today Show' Hosts Discussion on Bilingual Education
Education Week
In her Learning the Language Blog, Mary Ann Zehr writes, "'The Today Show' broadcasts an interview with Ron Unz, who financed the effort to curtail bilingual education in California back in 1998, for a segment that attempts to answer the question, 'Should education in the U.S. be bilingual?' The show stresses how the Hispanic student population has grown dramatically in this country in places that didn't traditionally receive a lot of immigrants, such as North Carolina."
This is an invaluable resource for parents and bilingual educators, (especially) for those of us who want to maintain our culture.
