No statistical data cited by the author to substantiate the claims.

I tend to believe them, but they are still unsubstantiated.

That bit about the ELL students dropping out and the judge being satisfied?

Not true. The legislature coughed up another $40 Million for ELL, and the folks who sued in the first place are going back to the judge to insist that it isn’t enough.

There’ve been no published stats that I’ve seen to support the author’s claim in that instance.
