...education is partly responsible for the improvement of reading skills among Hispanic groups. Opponents of the programs, however, maintain that bilingual instruction promotes school separatism, hinders fluency in English, and is a contributing factor to the high drop-out rate among bilingual students, most of whom are Hispanic. Critics cite inefficient use of funds and the lack of dramatic results as justification for their eradication.

EPA removed 1,500 drums and scraped off up to twelve inches of topsoil. The land was sloped and sodded and declared fit for a playground. But critics cite tests showing that the contamination had worked its way as far as 15 feet below the surface. No attempt was made to prevent seepage of these deeper chemicals into the groundwater or a nearby river...
