WASHINGTON, D.C. -- U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell announced today that the U.S. Department of Education has awarded Georgetown College a $75,567 federal grant.
The money will be used to develop a Center for Culturally Relevant Pedagogy, which will provide professional development to teachers to help prepare them to work with students learning English.
“These funds will enable Georgetown College to prepare future educators to use relevant methods to teach students to learn English,” said McConnell. “This project is important to Kentucky and to the students and faculty at Georgetown College, and I was pleased to have helped secure the funding.”
Earlier this year, Senator McConnell wrote a letter to the U.S. Department of Education in support of this program.

Not that long ago, I though McConnell was one of the bravest and unapologetically conservatives in the World’s
Greatest Deliberative Body.
What happened?

They are attending College,yet they can't speak English? I think you misread this article. I think that these college students are being educated to TEACH pre-college students who aren't fluent in English.
While I prefer English immersion education, not all states have it,

I have a daughter who graduated from Georgetown. She received a decent education there as she was driven to learn. In fact she graduated with a 4.0 GPA, but for the most part it was NOT due to the excellent faculty they have.

They are attending College,yet they can't speak English? Read the post again. The money goes to help fund a center to instruct TEACHERS on how to TEACH people who do not speak English.
To: Nucluside
Thanks! McConnell needs to go-completely out of touch.
