The Impact of the Native American Languages Act on Public School Curriculum: A Different View.
Littlejohn, Jim
Journal of Law and Education, v29 v4 p481-90 Oct 2000
Responds to Scott Ferrin's argument (EJ 583 598) and, as the former policy director for the U.S. Office for Civil Rights (OCR), decries both Ferrin and OCR for their relentless and, in his view, unwarranted promotion of bilingual education. Contends that no civil-rights laws, including the Native American Languages Act (NALA), support or allow federal control of local school curricula or teaching methodologies. (Contains 40 footnotes.) (MLF)
