ENL is a Civil Right ENL = English as a New Language (formerly known as English as Second Language) In 1974, in the class action suit Lau vs. Nichols (San Francisco) the Court ruled that school districts receiving federal funds must give students extra help to learn English so they can receive an equal education. The decision was based on the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the law Martin Luther King fought for on behalf of African Americans
