Bilingual Education Policies

This was an act that the United States Congress signed by Theodore Roosevelt. This act was a rewritten version of the Naturalization Act of 1870. This act made it a requirement for immigrants to speak English. Immigrants had to speak English in order to begin the process of becoming naturalized. This caused exclusion and discrimination due to the fact that immigrants needed to learn English.

These acts started with the Supreme Court fighting for the prohibition of foreign language used in private schools. The Meyer v. Nebraska Act didn't allow children to continue their education in schools that had other languages besides English until they passes the 8th grade. The Farrington v. Tokushige act went against Acts of the Legislator of Hawaii.

This act was in the 20th century and a decision that the United States Supreme Court made. In this act the United Stated Supreme Court went against a Oregon statue that required all children to attend public school.

This act was a desegregation of public schools and the 1st major educational policy.

This Act was President Johnson giving his support towards language legislation.

This Act was to promote bilingual education in the United States. This act also grated financial assistance to the public.

This law was a cornerstone of Lyndon B. Johnson's "War on Poverty" . This law brought education into the forefront of the national assault on poverty and represented a landmark commitment to equal access to quality education. This law was meant to provide federal aid for public schools.

This Act is Title VII of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965. President Lyndon B. Johnson put this act into place. This Act made its first bilingual-bicultural education program at the federal level, supplemented funding for school districts interested in establishing programs to meet the needs of people with limited English abilities, and provided funding for planning and developing bilingual education programs as well as training and operation for these programs. The reason that that this Act came into place was because of the growing size of non-English speaking people, and Education was becoming a factor of employment and social mobility.
