When you have a district that intentionally bifurcates the education direction you have the problem. I speak passable the spanish. I was listening to a grandmother talking to her granddaughter objecting to the fact kids from Mexico were not learning the spanish in school.
Yet at the same time the political activist who demand the spanish be taught and the social structure of Mexico be taught in Calif. schools are back in control.
The SBUSD had close to a glass full teaching program. Decades ago the District stated kids would be taught in the english and within one year comprehension and test scores started climbing. You now have the old let's create division and failure by not demanding this proven education.
It is like renting your home as a vacation rental, and having to then rent a house to live in.
The vast majority of laws are based upon long held English law that came with the colonies and then the Constitution. It protects both real and intellectual rights. If you cannot, or better yet, refuse to acknowledge the culture/language that projects property rights and of course the language it is written in you have problems.
On the surface, Mark has a good philosophy. But like Scott Wentz points out, we have a bifurcated system, and some would say city/culture: are we the USA, or the USM? So will Mark be a lone voice, or can he actually pull the team together, "rowing/growing/educating" our children in a manner that fills the entire glass?

Interesting position statement.
