These programs allow people who dont know English to be isolated from the rest of American society. and to possibly be taken advantage of. While these initiatives have been partially helpful in insuring that minorities vote and get a proper education. that also have served to retard their need to know and use English. Some critics charge that many of the bilingual education programs. which seek to keep immigrant and minority children on an educational par with their peers. have failed. These same critics charge that the process of educating children in their native tongue. while at the same time teaching them English as a second language is counterproductive. My resolution will prevent the gradual erosion of the use of English and will insure its preeminence. but it would not interfere in anyones desire to keep their native tongue. and to use it in their neighborhood or home.
