(Washington, D.C.) – U.S. Representative Tom Tancredo (R-Littleton) today sent a letter to Colorado State Board of Education Commissioner William J. Moloney questioning the school districts choice to offer all day education to Elementary Spanish speaking students while offering only a half day to English speakers.
“Parents of English-speaking students have been told they are not eligible for all-day kindergarten because their children do not need the English-language instruction provided to Spanish-language students,” said Tancredo, Chairman of the Congressional Immigration Reform Caucus. “I want to know if such programs are legal under federal and state non-discrimination laws. Can children be denied an equal education just because their native language is English?”
