California Democrats Refuse to Leave Well Enough Alone

Steve Sailer turns over a rock to show us what crawls underneath.
A rare social policy success over the last generation was the 1998 rollback of “bilingual” education in California when Proposition 227 passed with 59% of the vote. The problem with “bilingual” education was that it worked to keep the children of immigrants monolingual in the language of their homes until after they’d passed the time period when they can most easily learn a new language. Ron Unz’s initiative has made English dominant in the schools, and the kids like it. English is cool.Therefore, the Democrats in Sacramento want to repeal it.
