[edit] Affirmative Action/Bilingual Ed

I began a section on Rodriguez's views on affirmative action and bilingual education reform, based only on my reading of Hunger of Memory. Perhaps someone more familiar Rodriguez would like to expand this section, as it seems to be the most important aspect of his work. User:Havardj

[edit] Problems

The whole "Political and Social Implications of his Writing" is just a rather lengthy, not especially clearly written, criticism of Ramirez's ideas.. Not sure if that is what the bulk of the article should be made up of. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.21.140.51 (talk) 18:51, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

The above section seems to be contrary to Wikipedias, "original research". While it is interesting and could provide lengthy argument and debate, it would be useful if there is an online source that reinterates these arguments. At this point, I need to reread Rodriguez, look for more online sources, and read the guidelines for biographies of living persons before I offer any editing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Whosear (talk • contribs) 13:58, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
