<div>Hello all:</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Apparently there's another stirring in the "official
English" movement afoot, sponsored by Rep. Cliff Stearns
(R-Florida). Today's Times-Union (Jacksonville) has an editorial in
support which you can read at:</div>

<div>Best lines:</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>"...bilingual education has been a disaster."</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>"...<font face="Times" color="#000000"> studies show
immigrant children fare much better in English immersion
programs."</font></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I want to write a response, but I need to do it quickly. Any
thoughts, sources, etc.?</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div><br></div>
