The persistent educational underachievement of Latino children and adolescents in the United States has emerged as a public concern as Latinos are growing more rapidly than any other racial and ethnic groups. This article focuses on California Proposition 227, also referred in English in Public Schools initiative, which eliminated bilingual education in California public schools. Beyond legal analysis, the educational trajectory of Latino youths with limited English proficiency is discussed in terms of the impact of English Immersion on the current school context where Latino students are susceptible to daily social stress and discrmination, which in turn increases the risk for educatonal underachievement among Latino youths.
