“Texas middle and high school students who speak limited English lag about 60 points behind white children on the state’s TAKS test, underscoring problems with bilingual education, civil rights lawyers testified Monday before a federal judge.

The League of United Latin American Citizens and the GI Forum want U.S. District Judge William Wayne Justice to order the state to design and fund a program to monitor bilingual education programs for the state’s expanding population of limited-English-proficient students. Justice first ordered the state to provide a meaningful bilingual education program 35 years ago.”
