Ramirez "Summary Notes of Unz, Ramirez, et al Debate" pp 187-192
Crawford "Disaster at the Polls" Internet

Significance of This Reading:

I'm going to have to be short because again I have a lot of homework due:

The Ramirez article seemed a little one sided, since none of the Unz arguments were presented in much detail and since one of the debaters was the one who did the summary.  I do think that Ramirez made some great points, I just would have been more impressed if I saw more of the other side.

The Crawford article on the Internet proved to be a little hard to find.  I thought it was a very interesting historical reference, but I just don't have time for much comment because I am rushing off right now to print this and go to class.  That Callaghan person sounds like quite a character though.  Interesting the kind of opposition that bilingual education faces.  I'd like to see more about her so I could learn more of what she was thinking.  I also found it to be a pretty stinging indictment of the American new media.  But then, I have some pretty strong issues with them already.

Other Reflections/Insights:

I really, really hope things slow down after Spring break!
