Bilingual Education: This movement began in the 1960's as a response to comprehensive Mexican-American youth in all english curriculums.

1968 Congress passes Bilingual Education Act

Required special Attention from school authorities that took into account their lack of facility in English.

This movement was highly opposed by those who saw assimilation as the "cool thing" to do (Anglo Politicians, White People)

American Indians: Forced to assimilate

-Prepare poor children for school

ESEA

The emergence of IEP's

School Desegregation

Was difficult to actually engage

Only a small number of black students were in white schools

The government had no backing for desegregation

Schools basically still did what they wanted.

"Freedom of choice"

-Brown v Board sparked desegregation in schools and the civil rights movements outside of schools

-2 rulings; segregation should end, how fast it should end

-Policy changes v big social changes

-Battle between child-centered curriculum and social -centered curriculum

-John Dewey felt that it was not a true child centered curriculum, combined traditional subject matter in light of the child's needs

-Reaction: immediate throughout whole U.S whether good or bad. Kansas responded a lot quicker, surrounding states had a ripple effect and eventually started doing the same thing, but it took the south a while

-Some people tried to appeal it, white citizens council, state governors, and legislators tried to fight it
