This is not about training a second language. This is about teaching core classes in non-english. This is damaging.

They've got a problem. We must become mulit-cultural, multi-language etc. But the English speaking kids do better on standardardized tests (even when they're Spanish surnamed). They translate the tests into Spanish for the Spanish speaking kids and they do just as badly. It's not fair and we can't achieve this multi-cultural society with this happening. So make all the kids Spanish speaking and they can do equally poorly.
