     There is throughout this country a "movement" to establish English
as the official language and to institute English Only  instruction in
elementary schools.
     I personally am very opposed to this "movement" and would like to
know the opinions of others, especially of those who can offer solid
arguments destroying the so called "research" touting English Immersion.
     On the other hand, research on Dual Language or Two Way Immersion
programs indicates that such an approach is vastly superior to all
others. And I would like to hear from people on this program.
