Bilingual Discrimination

Bilingual discrimination happens in the work place and at school. While there is no discrimination law against it there should be, Spanish is becoming it’s second language in the united states. Criticism of bilingual education has grown as parents and also numerous objective analyses have shown it was ineffective. It also kept students too long in Spanish only classes and slowed the learning of English and assimilation who American society. Example “bilingual education has proven to be effective in helping immigrant children to learn English, many parents still complain about inequities according to the new papers. Parents from three schools district voiced common complaints. This is a lock of bilingual personal in schools. Discrimination against Hispanic students and changes in bilingual education program also it’s fearful of their status undocumented immigrants are hesitant to point out the injustices their children face in school. Hispanic people in the rural area where people live deal with many of them on a daily basis. The discrimination of English vowel contrasts in real and novel words by forty native English and forty bilingual Spanish and English participants that was examined , with novel words representing new words in a second language . Discrimination was investigated because this factor is the basis of phonological awareness this shows an interaction between bilingualism vowel contrasts and also novel words . Bilingual participants had greater difficulty with certain vowel contrasts . There was a significant difference in discrimination is accuracy between the bilingual   and the native English participants. The monolingual English speaks had no difficulty in discrimination. The bilingual speakers who learned English earlier had less difficulty than those speakers who learned English later the novel words presented the bilingual speakers.
This shows an example from Cathy Kelly in her article it says  as she looks in the Odessa American for a job this is where she comes across. She says “ does this mean if I’m not bilingual I don’t qualify for the job?” shouldn’t they already have employees there who can speak English and Spanish? These questions makes her wonder if this could be bilingual discrimination. Cathy says that if she can’t speak Spanish why does that disqualify her from a job? They offer free classes at Odessa college to learn English but they charge to learn Spanish or another language. She was .born a U.S citizen in the united states of America where English is our first language but also Spanish is our second language in this country too.
