Title: Editorial: We Should Teach Both English and Multiculturalism
Body: From http://www.southbendtribune.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090102/Opinion/901020371/1064/Opinion We should teach both English and multiculturalism By MELISSA BEBOUT January 2, 2009 Supposedly, English- only policies treat students equally since they emphasize English and do not support one language more than others. This policy seems directly related to the "colorblind" attitude that we teachers are encouraged to take: Ignore racial and cultural differences, otherwise you could be perceived as racist. Treat everyone the same. But not everyone is the same. Being "colorblind" does not recognize the differences in experiences students bring that affect their education. This is not to say we should support stereotypes by expecting certain student groups to perform in certain ways — all students are individuals that have the ability to succeed.

Title: Study Rebuts Migrants’ English Use
Body: From http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/news/articles/2008/12/09/20081209speakspanish1209.html Study rebuts perceptions of migrants' English use Immigrants in 1800s avoided new language by Daniel González December 9, 2008 Joseph Salmons, a researcher at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, has done a study that indicates that many German immigrants who arrived in the 1800s didn't learn English and that their children and grandchildren often didn't learn English, either. The findings probably apply to other waves of immigrant groups of the late 1800s and early 1900s, Salmons said. Other research shows that Latino immigrants in more recent decades are learning English quickly and that, by the third generation, speak only English. "A lot of the stereotypes apply much better to German immigrants of the 19th century than they do to the Mexican immigrants in the Southwest today," said Salmons, a German professor.
