Lupe Zamarripa, former administrative assistant for Carlos Truan, recalls his public relations work for Truan and the atmosphere around bilingual education at the time. Zamarripa remembers stiff opposition to bilingual education, citing a statue that was on the books at the time forbidding instruction in a language other than English. However, to Truan, bilingual education legislation was a priority to an extent that he would later be referred to as the "father of bilingual education." The political leadership at the time however was not as enthusiastic. Zamarripa cites the lack of knowledge about what bilingual education really is and attitudes of needing to speak English because you're in America as reasons some disliked bilingual education.
