❤2023 Book. Teaching white supremacy by Donald Yacovan. They stopped teaching white supremacy in public schools 1776-1965 due to Martin Luther King and Malcom X

1975 Downey east middle school 6th grad to 9th grade , I remember teachers always telling me to sit in the rear of the class room. I remember Calvin Chung, we would make fun of the students up front on English and math class. The teacher would yel at the white kids and she would say, those kids in the back are going to work for you. I remember 2012 to 2020. I worked in Jeffersonville indiana the birth place of the KKK.. I meet ex-Klan members which they knew what they did was wrong, as if that teacher was there, if she was alive. I then worked in Shepardville Kentucky which Donald trump was elected , remember Walmart a lady telling me to go back? I asked where Mexico .. Wow, if felt like I was in Downey Cal 1970. Well, today.. Chicano Beverly Hills Downey California , I speak Spanglish with family and friends and work and bus suites, English only.

I wonder if the walkouts were in some way connected to the student uprising in Europe in 1968, or if it was purely inspired by the Civil Rights and anti-war movement?

who here from ms robs class

These were all the little losers of the time doing this nonsense.

Those student demands on the first page alone were both ludicrous and way to open-ended. No wonder they got rejected for the most part. Having bilingual teachers should only be used for bridging communication gaps. The common language across the whole country should be taught.

I was in third grade in 1968 and I was bullied spit on and ridiculed for the way you dressed or spoke you were singled out. There have been changes and I didn’t let that stop me as an adult I’m successful in my life

The whole chicano movement was co-opted by Fred Ross not authentic at all. Alinski groomed radicals like Doloris huerta and cesar chavez only wanted to breed anger and resentment, that was achieved by the Chicano Movement. in 1930s so called "chicanos" wanted to be American in the US census.

White people go storm the school with guns now days to be heard and they don't get arrested because of the second amendment but flashing a gun for intimidation is a crime but asking for better education is they still don't have equal rights

This proves how this country stopped the chicano movement because of fear that Americans of color would one day would be in office this country has done so much to destroy cultures they used Vietnam as an excuse to send our people to get killed and we still in 2023 are still invisible

They Shall Never Ever Deprive US of our Cultures, our Dignity and our Pride....🇲🇽🇲🇽

Muchas Gracias professor Castro, Cesar Chavez and all the raza for giving us our culture back and more rights for our future generations!! VÍVAAA LA RAZA!! 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽

Thank you to all those veteranos that stood up for yourself and future generations of chicanos

Thank you and all power

Right on!

An excellent new summary-video of an important chapter in the history of civil and Chicano rights. We will continue to share this history with students at Universities and secondary schools. Thank you and se puede to Retro Report and producer Victor Cuoto!

Thank you for uploading this. In America right now, maga Republicans are spreading white supremacy and fascism. They're targeting marginalized communities and fueling hatred.
Fight back.

Things like "conspiracy to disrupt the schools" is just another way of saying "You don't have the right to free speech or protest"

My third grade elementary school teacher made fun of my last name. In fact, he made it into a song and sang it in front of the class, accompanied with his guitar. The whole class laughed with delight. As one of few Latinos in my school, I was bullied, beaten up, and constantly ridiculed. The teachers did nothing. And I couldn't go home and complain as teachers were to be respected. So I dealt with it from elementary school into middle school and it was horrendous. 😪
