From the Paper:

"The battle over education reform in America has frequently been an acrimonious one. That this is so is not surprising: a system that adequately prepares America's young people for the rigors of "real life" and the challenges of international competition in a global marketplace is in everyone's interest, regardless of political affiliation. With that in mind, this paper will examine the impact of President Bush's 2001 No Child Left Behind Act as it relates to Limited English Proficient children and recent immigrants. To begin with, the following paper will outline briefly what the Act is and what it endeavors to do (vis-a-vis LEP children) and then proceed to outline the arguments commonly raised by those who support it."
