Thereafter, the linguists' response concerning the media debate will be portrayed. Many linguists discussed the subject and critically assessed the way the media dealt with the hotly debated topic and the way it was represented. The crucial question is; why was there such a public outcry, despite the fact that the fundamental issues attending language diversity and education in Oakland differed little from those that language professionals have dealt with for several decades And secondly, what can be learned from this.…
