In 1998, California voters passed Proposition 227, to require public-school instruction in English only. Prop 227 passed by 60%, ended bilingual education in California. Last week the State Senate education committee recommended that Prop 227 be repealed. Democrat Ricardo Lara wants another ballot measure in 2016.
Is Bilingual Education Making a Comeback?
