The Indiana Department of Education has announced that a record number of schools statewide will receive grants to establish or expand dual language programs as part of Indiana’s Dual Language Immersion Pilot Program.
It provides grants to school corporations or charter schools to establish or expand dual language programs in French, Mandarin, Spanish or other languages approved by the department.
To qualify for this grant, a school’s dual language immersion program must begin in either kindergarten or first grade and use an instructional model that provides at least 50% of its instruction in a target language and the remaining percentage of instructional time in English.

French, the language of no one but French and some Canadians; Mandarin the language of the ChiComs who would be our overlords; Spanish, the language of invaders who refuse to assimilate. What could go wrong?
I’d be happy if the schools could just figure out a way to teach people English…
