Abstract	This newsletter contains seven articles related to the educational rights of culturally diverse language-minority students. "20 Years after Lau: In Pursuit of Equity Not Just a Language Response Program," by Alicia Salinas Sosa, points out that educational responses to Lau vs. Nichols have been minimum-compliance programmatic responses rather than efforts to provide equal education to limited-English-proficient students. "The Fourth Generation of Desegregation and Civil Rights," by Bradley Scott, outlines the focus and desegregation concerns of three generations of school desegregation and identifies emerging concerns for equal education. "Is 'Americanization' Possible? Criticism of Bilingual Education Is Based on Myths and Fears," by Elizabeth Weiser Ramirez and Jennifer Yanez-Pastor, is a response by the Hispanic Education Coalition to an attack on bilingual education. "Parent Involvement and Students' Educational Rights," by Mikki Symonds, examines barriers to parent involvement and strategies to overcome them. "Assessment and Evaluation of Language Minority Pupils: 20 Years since Lau vs. Nichols," by Albert Cortez, traces development and trends toward reform in assessment of student language proficiency and in evaluation of programs serving language minority students. "Technology and Equity: From Oxymoron to Partnership," by Felix Montes, examines ways in which information and educational technologies can advance equity for minority and low-income students. "Bilingual Intelligence Testing," by Jose A. Cardenas, examines problems with assumptions about intelligence testing and with Spanish language intelligence tests. This newsletter also contains reflections of a child advocate, a book review, and a list of additional readings on civil rights in education. Most articles contain references. (SV)
