"Room for Debate": New York Times tries new immigration "reform" push

Brace yourselves (roomfordebate.blogs.nytimes.com):

Starting this weekend, The Times will publish a series of articles on the impact that the latest wave of immigrants is having on American institutions. Education is the first theme, and in a previous Room for Debate discussion, experts shared their insights into what works best in teaching children who do not speak English. Here are excerpts of comments from readers, who shared their personal experiences and observations on the subject.

They invite you to "join the conversation" by leaving comments at their various blog entries. While normally I'd oblige, their comments are presented in chronological order and has over 450 comments. I.e., no one's going to scroll to page 20,000 to read your comment. And, they moderate comments and many/almost all of the comments I've left on their previous entries over the years never got approved. So, I'll take a pass. But, you can feel free to knock yourself out.

For instance, in the very slight possibility that no one has pointed it out already, you can point out that their latest entry [1] features seven education "experts", including a representative of the National Council of La Raza. From the anti-bilingual education side of things, one of the opponents is Linda Chavez. Some debate.
