We don't take political views very openly on this site, because we prefer to pass on the latest business relevant news. However, we thought people in the education industry would be interested in what the web site Opposing Views is doing with polls and user participation.

Do English immersion laws help or harm students? Figure out where you stand now; your state may be next.
