NAACP Fights Proposal Pitching Public Schools For Non-English Speakers

The NAACP is fighting a proposal to dedicate two public high schools in suburban Washington to immigrants.

FOX News Radio’s Rachel Sutherland reports from Washington.

Planners say the schools are designed to help students struggling with English, but the NAACP claims the plan will pull resources from other students and unfairly redistribute them to Hispanic students.

Some critics even say the international schools smack of segregation.

Latino advocacy group CASA de Maryland says the schools are simply an option, not mandatory, and therefore do not violate the landmark 1954 Brown V. Board of Education ruling that schools for black and white students violated the Fourteenth Amendment.
