These programs as they serve language minority students now face their most strident attacks since the nativist movements of the early Twentieth century. Ironically, when the Bilingual Education Act was passed in 1968, there was very little scientific research to support it. Since then, a number of studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of bilingual education and yet Propositions 227 and 203 in California and Arizona, respectively, severely curtailed and, in many districts, resulted in the elimination of these programs.
