cpsylist: Sharing Recent APA Post

[Benedict McWhirter]

Hi all-
I know various faculty and students have discussed and/or brought this up in clinic and courses. NLPA is also coming out with a statement and I'll forward that when I can (if one of you have it, please bounce it around).

This has implications for all of us. (For my part, we'll discuss tomorrow in Bilingual Supervision.) When thinking about where you might want to put some advocacy energy -- this would be a very good place for it.  Horrifying.

Best to all!
Benedict
