    "title": "Equalizing Educational Opportunity: In Defense of Bilingual Education—A California Perspective",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Under critical examination, the English language and its use in\ndaily interactions carry with them symbolic values in our social\nworld, including social mobility, educational achievement, and\nemployment. Its representations in government bodies, mass media, education, and legal documents have further increased those\nvalues and subtly created a hostile environment for many US immigrants who are nonnative English speakers. In the bilingual\neducation debate, this view of nativism and monolingualism has\nreceived support from critics who believe that bilingual education serves only to disembody national unity and cohesion. As a\nresult of the English-only view, a number of bilingual education\nprograms are curtailed in the states of California, Arizona, and\nMassachusetts. In this article, I adopt the theoretical framework\nof equal educational opportunity (EEO) to examine bilingual\neducation conceived by the California Education for a Global\nEconomy Initiative. In the discussion section, I also propose a bilingual education plan that could better reflect language-positive\nliberalism and a participatory educational ideal.",
