the use of many words where fewer would do, especially in a deliberate attempt to be vague or evasive.

Interference
equal educational opportunities for ELLs can be provided only when schools work to overcome the language and educational barriers that ELLs encounter in a school setting. Simply providing them with the same access to facilities and learning materials that non-ELLs have is not enough to overcome these barriers.---which ruling?
