Former Texas legislator Humberto Tati Santiesteban describes how in the wake of the Sharpstown Scandal, House representatives in 1971 formed a group against Speaker of the House Gus Mutscher called the Dirty 30. Because Carlos Truan was a member of the Dirty 30, Mutscher refused to acknowledge Truan on the House floor for his bilingual education bill. Truan claimed that if his bill did not pass, it was Mutscher's fault, however Santiesteban counters that if Truan had denied himself the pride of authorship of the bill and let another representative put their name on it, the bill would have been recognized and passed. Santiesteban also discusses some of the opposition towards bilingual education programs. Teacher's associations feared that they would have to allow uncertified teachers to teach because there would not be a large enough supply of bilingual educators. Additionally, some same bilingual education as a way of segregation in the schools. Santiesteban argues that segregation was not the intent of the legislation and that he cannot understand why parents would not want their children to know two languages. Because Texas is a multicultural state, there is a need for expertise in both languages.
