Wiki+page+ideas

post links and ideas here Nothing yet. So on Thursday we talked about the idea of suppression of other languages in the United States, and Rick told of about this organization that is call English First Organization. Linda Chavez was the director at one point and she also worked with the Center for Equal Opportunity. What we found was that there was no entry for the English First Organization so we could either focus on that particular entry, and our research can focus in on what they are and do. But as well, we can link the broader idea of language suppression. Possibly from other countries, or other organizations. Hopefully this helps. Just get some ideas to bring for Thursday or if you can write something out that you found interesting while research the above ideas. Good luck!

The library has a book called //A Language silenced: the suppression of Hebrew literature and culture in the Soviet Union// JStore has an article about Cantonese vernacular and Colonial language policy in Hong Kong EBSCO pumped out articles mostly dealing with preschool children and language suppression (bilingualism)

here's a bunch of websites dealing w/ the EFF. there is alot of very strange stuff going on in there, alot of which i dont really fully understand myself. especially having to do w/ their involvements in various political campaigns, and how that plays of their role as a 'non-profit corporation' i also have yet to find anything more about Linda Chavez and EFF, which seems curious. maybe rick was confused? maybe just digging a little deeper will bring that clarity [|http://www.englishfirst.org] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] watch out for that last one, there seems to be some pop-ups [] []

Alright this is the page where we can work, but it can only be accessed through this link until we move it to a main page. The main page would all a wiki search of English First Organization. So it can't be found by the public. But the Wiki community will be able to review it as we create off this link. [] Good luck everyone. Oh, by the way the wiki people are super cool on the chat line.

I'm finding that Linda Chavez is connected with another Official English organization called U.S. English ([|www.usefoundation.org]). She was hired as president in 1987...around when English-First was founded (1986). [] (some about Linda Chavez and the Official English Movement from an opponent) []

The English First Foundation offers two books for free to any interested library– Rosalie Pedalino Porter's //Forked Tongue// and John Miller's //The Unmaking of Americans//– which are also offered for sale via their website. The foundation's political stance is delineated in detail in //The White Papers// A.K.A. //Illegal Aliens, Amnesty, and the Housing Crisis//. written by executive director Jim Boulet Jr. This first link is the funny one I was telling ya'll about where the perspectives of non-English-First adherents are crudely explained in bold text. [|http://www.englishfirstfoundation.org/pdf/bilingualflaws1999.pdf] [] [] [] more to come on the contents of these issue briefs...

so i do believe i have successfully submitted our article to be reviewed as in it is currently standing in a long line ("may take several days to be processed") and we check the status of the line by going to 'articles for creation' talk page cool

some possible history lead? about EF's first publication, via the mailboxes http://www.languagepolicy.net/archives/update3.htm http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=10&ved=0CIABEBYwCQ&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.smkb.ac.il%2Fprivweb%2FTeachers%2FChaim_Tir%2Fnurit%2FOFFICIAL%2520ENGLIS1.doc&ei=C-3HT7jNIYfs2QXwyvi-DQ&usg=AFQjCNFife8Q8iX6_eFplubwLSCbYKWB4w&sig2=KeTjSypf17b_gz9OKpnrBA
