jun 23, 1981 - Castaneda v. Pickard, 1981

Description:

The US court of appeals established a system for which bilingual education programs in public schools must comply to be in accordance with the Equal Educational Opportunities Act of 1974. The Bilingual program must adhere to “sound educational theory”, it must be “implemented effectively with resources for personal, instructional materials, and space.” And after a trial period, it must be proven to be effective.

My interpretation: This case protects students from discriminating due to their ethnicity. It has a great positive effect on establishing sufficient bilingual education programs.
