NY to provide more school help to NYC immigrants


Posted: Oct 12, 2011 5:22 PM EDT


ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - New York's state education department has approved a plan that will provide more help to immigrants and other English language learners in New York City schools.

State Education Commissioner John B. King Jr. says the city plan will provide more options, support and services for students and their families. The city expects to open 125 bilingual programs in the next three years.

King says Wednesday that English language learners face serious obstacles to academic success and the program will remove many of them.

In addition to Spanish, students in New York City schools come from homes and neighborhoods where any of dozens of different languages are spoken.

The graduation rate for English language learners was just 42 percent in June. That's up from 25 percent in 2003.

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."
