I'm curious why you oppose 227.  I don't like deciding school policy by
democracy, but if it comes down to having to vote either for bilingual
education or against it, I'd vote to get rid of long term bilingual
education as I think that's the best choice for the students.  I don't
know prop. 227 very well.  WHat is the current state of things, and how
exactly would 227 change things?
