The Case against Bilingualism.
Sundberg, Trudy J.
English Journal, v77 n3 p16-17 Mar 1988
Argues against bilingual education in the United States, asserting that the English language binds together a multicultural people. Claims that the Bilingual Education Act of 1968 is divisive, and that immigrants now have greater difficulty assimilating to American life because they can avoid learning English. (MM)
