Social change and cultural division in America have accelerated in
this century and further intensified with the Covid-19 pandemic,
the George Floyd incident, and the two recent presidential
elections. Seemingly settled issues-social change to bring equal
opportunity for minority populations and the basic importance of
equal protection under the law-have been upended or reversed.
Americans are under extreme pressure, grappling with upheavals over
race, education, economic structure, crime, immigration, and
foreign policy. For context, it is instructive to review the years
of radical social activity from the 1960s on and chronicle the
positive achievements. Today's discourse has fractured and
polarized us. There is no longer a consensus on how to disagree in
public. America Challenged: The New Politics of Race, Education,
and Culture provides needed analysis and commentary and presents
viewpoints largely unreported in the mainstream press. This book is
of crucial importance to all who care about America reaching its
fullest potential and for people who want to play a meaningful role
in the continued development of our country.

This book focuses on how to best educate Hispanic English-limited
students who tend to be the ethnic group most likely to be taught
in their native language and, consequently, to do poorly when
compared to all immigrant children limited in English. It provides
evidence that the Hispanic students have made impressive gains
where states passed anti-bilingual education laws. It compares that
success to the students' failure in New York and Colorado where
bilingual education still prevails.
