I wish I could.
It was in the late 1970s, near the end of the reign of our “National Malaise” president.
NH Mel Thompson was a REAL NH guy. When Jimmuh Carter established the Dept of Edumacation, they started giving federal money for “bilingual” programs.
At the time almost 20% of NH was French speaking. We had virtually no Spanish speaking people.
So, Mel Thompson applied for Federal Education aid for a bilingual French and English program in the NH schools. I think he knew in advance that they would not give any federal funds for that. He just wanted to expose them as hypocritical PC jerks.
He was right.
The feds would not give grants for French and English bilingual programs, because French was not a “Third World” language. Maybe somebody should explain that to the folks living in Sierra Leone.
