This book examines the injustice in language policies and practices in the education system. The author discusses the injustices in terms of gender, bilingualism, minority culture and the standard versus the non standard language. He approaches these issues by looking at the affects on women and girls, minority cultural groups and minority social groups. The book then concludes with recommendations for the school systems to eliminate these injustices in the current language policies.
