CA Lawmakers Aim To Ban English Only Instruction in Public Schools

Breitbart reports:
On Tuesday, a few hours after Mexican president Enrique Pena Nieto said that Illegal Aliens deserve justice in the USA and Gov. Jerry Brown welcomed all illegal immigrants to California, lawmakers in Sacramento passed a proposed ballot measure seeking to dismantle the English-only mandate for public schools and increase multilingual education programs.

The Los Angeles Times reported that Sen. Ricardo Lara (D-Los Angeles), chairman of the Latino Legislative Caucus, asserted "I think Californians' attitudes have changed and they understand the need, now that we are in a global economy, to have a multilingual workforce." Moreover, Lara says the timing is right “to revisit multilingualism, bilingualism and language immersion programs."
Because some people just don't want to learn English.
