If we look at World War II. the Hispanic community as an ethnic group won more Congressional Medals of Honor than any other group. fiercely proud of being American. fiercely proud of their ability to speak the English language. Let me tell the Members. if we visit the reunions of the Congressional Medal of Honor winners we will find many of them still speak English with a broken accent. deprived of proper education at a very young age. I want to associate my remarks with those of the gentlewoman from Florida who is an immigrant from Cuba who came to this country. She sits here in Congress a proud American. proud of her ability to speak Spanish. which she learned without the benefit of bilingual education. Let me tell the Members a few of the myths about bilingual education and where it does do some good.
