Christine--

I understand that bilingual education is a difficult issue, but in order to be a productive adult member of our society, a person must be able to speak and write English fluently. And if the purpose of education is to prepare a person to be a productive adult member of society, we are doing a disfavor to these kids by allowing them to be educated in public schools in their native tongues. Like it or not, we live in an English speaking society and business world and that has to be the focus of public education.

That's not racist, it's practical.
