“Foolishness” is the word that Eduflack uses to characterize Arizona Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Horne’s proposal to reduce the funding for English-as-a-second-language programs in Arizona by $30 million for next school year. I mentioned Horne’s proposal here.

Update: Writers of an editorial in the Tucson Citizen say Horne should “cough up the data” to back his proposal.
