Indian Education Act cannot be implemented
|
| |
New York, USA (Black Enterprise): Although the federal Indian Education Act of 1972 mandates that public schools teach the Indian language and culture to Indian students, it is simply impossible to […]carry out that mandate when 50 different tribes are represented.
Ironically, Ryan finds herself in the position of advising Native families not to declare their Native language as their primary language when they enrol their child in school. What happens then, is the child is put in a bilingual program for Spanish, which makes no sense.
