Latinos reject governor’s English-immersion advice
Tagged: California, National Association of Hispanic Journalists, San Jose, studentPosted on: June 17th, 2007“Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger knew he was setting himself up for plenty of criticism when he urged Latinos to “turn off the Spanish television set” in order to learn English faster, but it was a briar patch the Austrian immigrant was happy to leap into.
Speaking to the National Association of Hispanic Journalists convention in San Jose Wednesday night, the governor, relaxed and seated in a chair on stage, answered questions for more than 40 minutes on Latino-oriented issues ranging from immigration to education. Late in that session, he was asked what could be done to help Latino students, many new to the country, pass the newly required high school exit exams.”
