he gets high off linguistics.
the reason why people don't understand bilingual education is because they don't know how it's taught; because they don't know the first thing about linguistics and language acquisition and have never thought to ask; because they think too often in binaries ('if we're not teaching kids english, we must be teaching them foreign-stuff! and if they're into foreign stuff then they're not american!')
so you go, jp - you and your code switching and contrastive analysis.
(shhh, we're not supposed to call members of the prevailing power structure dumb.)
