In many ways this bill typifies what it means to be an American. Traditionally. our language unites us and defines our citizenship. This bill would allow localities to decide how to teach English to their immigrants. It would stress the goal of transitioning within two years. and leave it up to the locality to decide which method is most effective. Further. the school would lose federal funding for their bilingual education program after 3 years. This does not prevent localities from using their own funds to continue such a programit just means that federal funds cannot be used. English proficiency is essential to immigrant success. English proficiency helps ones family. which in turn would help their neighborhood. which in turn would help their communmity. English proficiency is good for the overall wellbeing of our society.
