My impression from that article is that there are programs out there that really do believe they're providing bilingual-bicultural education but don't have the resources, language models, etc. I think most importantly administrators of these programs need to be educated about the principles and reasoning behind bi-bi education.
I do think it wouldn't be prohibitively difficult to improve some of these programs that have already gone partway with their positive attitude towards English and ASL used together, but yeah, it would take some proactive advocacy.
