Boston march backs bilingual ed
Some 500 people joined a spirited march through a Latino
neighborhood in Boston on Nov. 2 to urge defeat for a ballot
initiative that would eliminate bilingual education in
Massachusetts.
Many youth and teachers joined the protest, organized by
Sociedad Latino and City Life/Vida Urbana. Ron Unz, a Silicon
Valley multi-millionaire, organized the racist ballot question
with backing from conservative "think tanks" like the Bradley
Foundation. Many anti-war activists from the Act Now to Stop
War & End Racism coalition joined the march for bilingual
rights, pointing to the Unz initiative as another front in the
government's war at home against immigrants.
