I have been involved in the fight against 227 since June. Because
I consider
that this proposition has nothing to do with education but with using
the
Spanish-speaking community as a whipping boy for the English Only movement
and
their assorted hangers-on, I have done extensive research, even though
it is
not my field of study.
Many of my findings can be found at a Web page I created:
http://www.physics.ucla.edu/~urrutia/chicano/WhyDidIDoIt.html
(make sure that you type in the upper case letters!).
If you need to understand why 227 is a fallacy, check my comments on
an Unz
article (based on a data collected at a conference that took place
at UC
Riverside):

And if you like to read their propaganda, check out:
http://www.physics.ucla.edu/~urrutia/chicano/RootAllEvil.html
and:
http://www.physics.ucla.edu/~urrutia/chicano/WithFriends.html
These last two were originally posts in s.c.m.a. to which not a peep
was heard
from the authors or their apologists.
Happy reading!
Manuel
