The '''Center for Equal Opportunity''' is a small ultraconservative boutique [[think tank]] vigorously opposed to affirmative action and bilingual education. Founded by right wing commentator [[Linda Chavez]] in 1995, the Center's small staff of five includes 2 of Chavez's adult children. Initially and primarily funded with a founding grant from the [[John M. Olin Foundation | Olin Foundation]], the Center exists largely on grants from the [[Bradley Foundation]], and the [[Sarah Scaife Foundation]]. The Center's most noteworthy accomplishment is the publication of a brochure entitled ''Parents' Guide to Bilingual Education'', which despite its name is a tract that instructs parents on how to oppose bilingual education programs in public school systems.
