“Dual Immersion” Madness

A logical corollary of being an America-hater (a common phenomenon among intellectuals such as teachers) is a hatred of America’s language—which is English.  So the fact that there are now a lot of Spanish-speakers in America who need to learn English is used as an excuse to teach Spanish instead!  And “dual immersion” is the fiercest form of that—where not only Spanish kids but also Anglo kids are taught in Spanish!  And it’s happening.  They’re even trying to introduce it in Utah.  Note the following report (excerpts):

“As the Washington County School District continues to explore the possibility of teaching both English and Spanish at a local elementary school, Principal Dale Porter met with Spanish-speaking parents Thursday evening at Dixie Downs Elementary to discuss the program. Called “dual immersion,” the program would teach classes of evenly balanced English- and Spanish-speakers. Both language groups would learn the other language just as English is now taught in district elementary schools…. Those who live in Dixie Downs’ boundaries will not be required to participate and may choose another school in the district to attend…. Porter explained how all students in the program learn a foreign language - either English or Spanish - and how both language populations benefit from each other. The languages are taught simultaneously by bilingual teachers.”

Source

That report is from a few months back so here’s an update from one of my readers:

“Dixie Downs elementary school has not yet been selected to be the “dual immersion” elementary school in town, because the district has not yet decided if it will try the experiment.  But it began the school year with many new teachers. 100% of the teachers now speak both Spanish and English. Any teachers which did not have moved to a different school. 100% of teachers for some grades are teaching their own class for the first time. The principal has declared that he only hired the best teachers who applied (all the best teachers were bi-lingual?)

Imagine the school board’s surprise recently when several parents, who don’t want dual immersion, spoke at the school board meeting and asked why a common phrase, with a familiar rhythm and accompanying actions did not sound familiar when they visited the classrooms. If one listens to the rhythm and not the words one can almost hear….. “I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America”...... However the children all recite it in SPANISH! Even the ones that can’t trace any Spanish ancestry.

So the principal of the school is moving ahead as if the idea were already approved, which it probably will be unless some parents get very active.  But it is a “poor” school (intellectuals wouldn’t experiment on their own kids)—42% of the students are eligible for a free lunch (See here)—so I guess the authorities are banking on that not happening.  And being poor not many parents may be able to excercise the option of transferring to another school.  My prediction?  Lots of kids subjected to such treatment will end up even more illiterate than they do now.  If the schools cannot teach the “3Rs” in English properly, how the heck are they going to do it in Spanish?  But anyone who opposes the whole idea is “racist”, of course.

This is typical egalitarian malice; just as if they believed that they should never pass up a chance to push people down as far as can be gotten away with. It shows why reversing the hispanic immigration is an urgent matter; officials find it so easy to use them as a way of trashing our minimum standards. Oddly enough, these officials don’t seem to realize that if the people rise up and demand the privatization of the government schools, the game is over, and the left loses.

But you see, this is a logical consequence of immigration—pretty much all immigration, because immigration always becomes a flood. Many of the Anglo proponents of these programs have the same attitudes toward Mexican immigrants as JJR does to South Asians. After all, they are ‘hard working’, they are ‘religious’, they are ‘natural conservatives’—that’s what we are told. So if they have all that going for them, their culture must be great. So we definitely should deny the benefits of it to our kids. So teach them Spanish.

John Bolton and Stari Momak are both right:  among whites pushing this stuff are ones motivated by seething anti-white-Christian hatred who are consciously out to harm and if possible eradicate whites and their society, and ones who are dupes of the propaganda put out by the first group and don’t wish to extinguish or harm white-Christian society and people and have no idea that’s exactly what they’re doing (they think they’re helping them, when they’re killing them; the first group know they’re not helping them but killing them).  John Ray is sort of in the second group (he’s no dupe of course, having a brilliant, completely independent mind, but in his head he just can’t get the racial thing straight for some reason and so behaves as if he’s a member of the dupe category of white).

The theory that the interior states will learn from California’s failure isn’t holding up, then.

Ummjack it’s amazing and painful to have to say but no, not much sign of it holding up yet.  The ease with which the race-replacers have taken this country down must be astonishing even to them—it’s like a prospector mining for gold who wanders into a place where for acres and acres as far as the eye can see there are gold nuggets just lying on the ground waiting to be picked up.  No work involved—no digging, no panning, nothing—just stoop over as you walk, pick up the nuggets that are just lying there, and put them in your bag.  That’s how easy it’s been for the race-replacers throughout the white-Euro West.  Unfrickingbelievable.  One thing I’m convinced of, it never could have happened without women’s suffrage, the most nation-killing development to come along in ten thousand years.  The other ingredient was the modern effeminate version of Christianity.  Put those two together—the women’s vote and modern Christianity—and you’re as good as dead as far as being a nation-state is concerned.  Might as well pack it in and kiss the whole thing good-bye, friend, because those two—women voters and Christians—are going to change you into Sub-Saharan Africa, Mexico, and Algeria quicker than you can say Jack Robinson.

Then again, as I pointed out on another thread, it’s impossible to compare a public school system in an interior state today with the public school system in California thirty years ago.  Homeschooling has changed everything.  The activist parents are all long gone from the system; all that is left are the poor and the feckless.
