[Edling] The Atlantic attack on Bilingualism research

[bspolsky]

Even a neutral reader should be able to see how unfairly biased this is: it
has no trouble finding Paap and a couple of fellow critics, but seems to
have only found two of the many who have supported Bialystok's work.  In
Texas in the old days, "bilingual" meant an ignorant Mexican immigrant.
With the breakdown in manners being exploited by presidential  candidate, I
suppose we might have expected similar tactics as some scholars seek
popularity by wildly biased attacks like these.
