  • "America is not one culture. Taking away Bilingual Education would make it one."
  • "Bilingual Education is better than 'sink or swim.' (With one-year immersion ESL) some kids will swim but many kids will sink."
  • "They (immigrant/refugee children) all have a right to a quality education."
  • "Bilingual learning helped me make friends"
  • "Bilingual Education unites people."
  • "Our friends deserve equal education."
  • "Bilingual Education helps me. Someday helped me do my first booklet."
  • "Without Bilingual Education, how could this foreign girl learn her new language but also keep her own heritage. Now this foreign girl can understand and talk to her friends and families."
