双语教育在移民神话中广为流传:解鞋带能使人们大获成功,为得到社会的认可而斗争,是沉下去还是浮起来式的学英语规则。对今天的许多美国人来说,用其它语言教英语是对神圣的传统的一种侮辱。即使没有特殊的教育,过去的移民声称他们依然能够昌盛;他们乐于在大熔炉中,努力掌握所在移民国家的语言。公立学校只教英语,阻止其它语言的教授,从而为他们走向新世界开辟了一条新路。 Bilingual education is widely circulated in immigrant mythology: that shoelaces can make a big success, fight for social recognition, and learn to sink or float. For many Americans today, teaching English in other languages ​​is an insult to the sacred tradition. Even without special education, past immigrants claimed that they were still able to prosper; they were willing to work hard in the melting pot to master the language of the countries in which they immigrated. Public schools only teach English and stop professors in other languages, thus opening up a new path for them to go to the new world.
