Education and bilingualism in Hartford, CT

Strong op-ed from an Associate Professor from Trinity College in the Hartford Courant today about how schools discourage and disparage the use of Spanish in schools. From the article: "But it is not only state and federal policy that is to blame. The move toward English-only in schools in Hartford and across the country has its roots in poisonous views of Spanish speakers and other racially marginalized immigrants as linguistically and culturally deficient, and in the irrational fear that the presence of linguistically diverse populations within our borders threatens the primacy of English."

Appreciate you reading and sharing your story since I can certainly relate and I think others can to
