Local school districts and states with a large percentage of students who are learning to speak English should be able to make their own decisions on how best to educate their students. H.R. 3892 is a "onesizefitsall" approach to a complicated problem that requires autonomy and flexibility for local jurisdictions. Finally. we should not lose sight of the fact that this bill repeals the Emergency Immigrant Education program and undermines Title VII funds. from the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. that have already been awarded to local school districts. This legislation is will hinder the advances made in bilingual education and I would urge my colleagues to oppose H.R. 3892.
