“Children have certain fundamental rights which must be protected and preserved, including but not limited to,
  • the rights to adequate food, clothing and shelter;
  • the right to be free from physical, sexual, or emotional injury or exploitation;
  • the right to develop physically, mentally, and emotionally to their potential; and
  • the right to educational instruction and the right to a secure, stable family.”

In Support of Dual Immersion

Bilingual education can resist xenophobia and nativism: 
- “Xenophobic beliefs about immigrants have targeted various groups throughout history because of their perceived threat to a US national identity, which has legally and socially been defined by whiteness... xenophobic beliefs are underlined by nativist perceptions about who ‘belongs’ in the country.” (Pérez Huber, 2011, p. 379-380) 

​-"English dominance is a tool to deny education to immigrant students and to reinforce assimilation, colonization, and “hegemonic control” based on one construction of whiteness and Americanness."  (Pérez Huber, 2011, p. 383)
