YCT Yea. Amendment 34 would have removed a section from HB 3, an omnibus education bill, which limited the amount of Spanish language testing to three years below the 5th grade. Students, teachers, and our state would be best served through English immersion programs instead of bilingual education. The provisions in HB 3 that Amendment 34 would have removed are not immersion, but they represent small and very sensible steps in that direction
