TitleVII of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act enacted in 1968, well known as the "Bilingual Education Act" , was replaced by the "No Child Left Behind Act of 2001" which was signed into law by President Bush on January 8, 2002. The expiration of the "Bilingual Education Act" means the elimination of not only bilingual programs, but also the spirit of multiculturalism in the sense of tolerance and respect for diversity. This paper seeks to compare the purposes of the "Bilingual Education Act of 1968" with those of the "No Child Left Behind Act of 2001", and tries to expound why the "Bilingual Education Act" is needed to proceed us to real democracy.
