SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) - A judge refused to halt the Feb. 4 recall election for an Orange County school board member accused of improperly promoting bilingual education.
U.S. District Judge Alicemarie Stotler refused Monday to grant a preliminary injunction in a lawsuit filed by an Hispanic civil rights group.
The Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund sued after allegations arose that non-English speakers were unable to read the recall petitions and were misled into signing them.
The recall election is aimed at Nativo Lopez, who is on the board of the Santa Ana Unified School District.
Critics contend that Lopez has pushed bilingual education over English instruction despite Proposition 227, the 1998 California ballot measure that virtually banned bilingual education in public schools.

They should slap a tax on all Spanish speaking people ---if they can find any who actually pay taxes and let them pay for their own "special" programs like bi-lingual ed. They don't want to learn the language of this country but I'd bet they would scream if it was they themselves who had to pay the high cost of these programs.

Organizations like Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund, (MALDEF) is blatantly, a racist organization.
