National Public Radio notes the increase of Spanish-speaking kiddies in southern states and the pressure their language diversity has made on schools.
Unsurprisingly, the liberal radio network assumes the advisability of bilingualism where Spanish is accepted as a co-equal language in America. Spanish education will “help create the next generation of bilingual doctors, executives and teachers,” [...]
In Mexican culture, the color line is sharp. The elite political class is comprised of light-skinned European-descended persons, and it is very hard for a dark Mexican to be elected presidente. In 2005 paleface Presidente Vicente Fox angered many black Americans when he said that illegals take jobs “that not even blacks want to do.” Another [...]
Bilingualism with a legal underpinning as it exists in Canada is a disastrous policy and America should avoid it at all costs. Unfortunately, we seem headed inexorably in that direction due to the Mexican invasion, er immigration. America does not have official bilingualism (where people have to speak both perfectly) although in some regions a [...]
There’s a new report filled with lots of interesting Asian statistics, focusing on education but including a wide range of social measures, informing anyone who is interested that Asians residing in America are diverse.
Not all are college graduates. Chinese are high achievers, as we were recently reminded by the Tiger Mom Chinese supremacist imbroglio. But [...]
At a time when astronomical budget deficits have made fiscally responsible leaders warn citizens of necessary belt-tightening ahead, immigrants are about to receive improvements to a little discussed entitlement on the backs of American taxpayers and health insurance purchasers.
Every non-English-speaker is already entitled to a skilled interpreter as a right, piled on the already explosive [...]
This story is a reminder that every state is a border state now. In Nashville, the traditional home of country music, 22 percent of the city’s K-12 students are English learners. Overwhelmed California has only slightly more, at 24 percent.
In addition, Nashville has had a problem with violent Kurdish gangs, as I wrote in 2007: [...]
Extreme levels of immigrations are no longer limited to border regions. Oshkosh, Wisconsin, is learning that celebrating dissimilarity in schools is expensive and complex. The price tag is mounting up as more non-English-speaking kids appear, but teachers remain major Kool-Aid drinkers of the Diversity Is Our Strength poison.
Among the cheerleaders for multiculturalism is the Diversity [...]
Are Americans sick of pressing one for English? Perhaps the glorious multicultural multilingual future doesn’t look as good as diversity cheerleaders had promised. Or maybe citizens are alarmed by encroaching foreign influence, e.g. students being sent home from school for wearing American flag clothing so they wouldn’t offend Mexicans; or the shrieks of criticism [...]
