TitleBilingual Education Resources
BodyFrom: Rethinking Schools Online

Bilingual education is both a civil and human right. Unfortunately with the rise of anti-immigrant sentiment in the United States, bilingual education has been attacked at the state and federal level. Statewide anti-bilingual initiatives have passed in California, Colorado and Massachusetts. Federal legislation recently passed (as part of George W. Bush's Elementary and Secondary Education Act) includes provisions which further disadvantage those who are learning English.

Here's the website for links to articles on bilingual education that Rethinking Schools has published recently:
