"NCLB does not mandate a specific LEP program.  It also should not violate
any state law and/ or civil right guaranteed under the Constitution.
Sections 3126 and 3127 of the NCLB address this issue.  As ESOL teachers we
need to keep a watchful eye on what our state legislatures are doing and
have a working knowledge of the Legal History of LEP programs in the US."

NCLB- Title III

SEC. 3126. LEGAL AUTHORITY UNDER STATE LAW.
Nothing in this part shall be construed to negate or supersede State law, or
the legal authority under State law of any State agency, State entity, or
State public official, over programs that are under the jurisdiction of the
State agency, entity, or official.

SEC. 3127. CIVIL RIGHTS.
Nothing in this part shall be construed in a manner inconsistent with any
Federal law guaranteeing a civil right.
