Therefore. the 32 million Americans who speak languages in addition to English are at competitive advantage. We should view bilingualism as a resource and an asset. And we must view bilingual education as a necessity. Bilingual education is extremely important and should be retained. As the National Education Association has said: To silence todays children in one language. while they learn another. defies logic and common sense. But to value what they bring to the classroom and build on It makes infinitely greater sense in todays world. We give immigrants hope to become fully part of the American dream by helping learn the skills to survive.
