Without them things would've surely been different. Thu, 01 Jul 2021 15:07:57 -0400 It's upsetting how even after all of this having integration and equity is still an issue in some places https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2493132 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2493132 Thu, 01 Jul 2021 15:04:12 -0400 opinion https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2493127 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2493127 I think that the impact they had was really good.They set the way for other mexicans to make changes to better their children's education. TO me this is important because they gave hope and a voice to others so that they could also stand up for themselves Thu, 01 Jul 2021 15:01:47 -0400 . https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2493082 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2493082 Yes,this is true like other white americans he felt that he was superior to mexican americans Thu, 01 Jul 2021 13:52:12 -0400 I agree with your opinion , i think it was brave for them and for the other mexican-americans to stand up and fight for their rights. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2493077 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2493077 Thu, 01 Jul 2021 13:45:55 -0400 opinion https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2493074 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2493074 This section made me very angry,to have heard what this man said. He did not have any kind of respect for mexican-americans and was just down right racist. He Claimed that mexicans should be segregated like pigs when in reality he was the one acting like an animal. Thu, 01 Jul 2021 15:04:25 -0400 . https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2493072 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2493072 I think it was very clear since the beginning that they were only separating the students to discriminate them. They didn't want to help them at all they just wanted them out of the school. Thu, 01 Jul 2021 14:46:03 -0400 I it is surprising, how they were basically treated as if they weren't human beings to.White people acted like they were superior then them just because of their color. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2493033 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2493033 Thu, 01 Jul 2021 12:32:08 -0400 Thoughts https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2493030 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2493030 It makes me upset and uneasy learning how Latinos really could not do anything else besides work in fields because discrimination prevented them from getting any good jobs. Thu, 01 Jul 2021 13:12:05 -0400 Opinion https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2493011 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2493011 I thought that it was very bold how they decided to take the school board to court and file a lawsuit against them for segregated their children and that they decided to gathered many other parents to support them with this. Many of the parents were scared of losing their jobs and I think that them doing this for their children was a really big deal. Thu, 01 Jul 2021 12:28:47 -0400 This really is a big step for them because they were finally deciding to do something about the segregation and show that they have a voice. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2493008 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2493008 Thu, 01 Jul 2021 12:20:38 -0400 It is surprising that the white people believed only white people were good enough for other jobs while mexicans should only work in industrial and domestic jobs. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2492773 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2492773 Wed, 30 Jun 2021 16:18:17 -0400 I agree with your statement , " We are human and all lives matter ..." because this is very true the chicano people should not have been treated differently just because of their race, they to are humans beings. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2492753 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2492753 Wed, 30 Jun 2021 16:15:22 -0400 Thoughts https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2492740 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2492740 It makes me upset knowing that the white people back then decided that mexicans should only work in fields,that they shouldn't go far academically. In this section I also very much dislike that the white people thought mexicans place in society was in industrial and domestic jobs. Wed, 30 Jun 2021 16:16:08 -0400 Connection https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2492734 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2492734 It's explaining to use that the mexican students received the older learning equipment and that the schools they attended where run down. A connection between this and the Lemon Grove Incident can be made because in lemon grove they wanted to place the mexican students in a school that the parents described as looking like "a barn" and the students their also received older learning tools and even older teachers. Wed, 30 Jun 2021 16:03:50 -0400 Opinion https://nowcomment.com/documents/278037?scroll_to=2491929 https://nowcomment.com/documents/278037?scroll_to=2491929 I can understand why most people that scavenge in these places would state that a job in a sweatshop seems like "a dream" Fri, 25 Jun 2021 12:34:37 -0400 Opinion https://nowcomment.com/documents/278037?scroll_to=2491922 https://nowcomment.com/documents/278037?scroll_to=2491922 although at first it may be hard to accept the fact that people in these countries need sweatshops,I think that they need to understand that these sweatshop jobs are a big step up from what most of the citizens in the countries are doing for a living. Fri, 25 Jun 2021 12:31:34 -0400 Main idea https://nowcomment.com/documents/278037?scroll_to=2491918 https://nowcomment.com/documents/278037?scroll_to=2491918 If people really want to help these poor countries them they need to stop being against them and instead be for them since they really have an impact on the people and their livelihoods. Fri, 25 Jun 2021 12:27:50 -0400 Main idea https://nowcomment.com/documents/278037?scroll_to=2491910 https://nowcomment.com/documents/278037?scroll_to=2491910 Basically companies can Give living wages and put labor standards in place but it the cost of production increases. Fri, 25 Jun 2021 12:24:28 -0400 Main idea https://nowcomment.com/documents/278037?scroll_to=2491891 https://nowcomment.com/documents/278037?scroll_to=2491891 There are less sweatshops in poor countries because most go to countries that have more reliable elements. Fri, 25 Jun 2021 12:16:24 -0400 opinion https://nowcomment.com/documents/278037?scroll_to=2491884 https://nowcomment.com/documents/278037?scroll_to=2491884 I think that sweatshops are bad and I like the author would very much dislike working in one of them, but compared to scavenging in garbage, it doesn't seem as bad. Fri, 25 Jun 2021 12:14:22 -0400 main idea https://nowcomment.com/documents/278037?scroll_to=2491880 https://nowcomment.com/documents/278037?scroll_to=2491880 Although sweatshop jobs are not ok for obvious reasons,people actually need them to avoid lower levels of poverty. Fri, 25 Jun 2021 12:11:54 -0400 Main idea https://nowcomment.com/documents/278037?scroll_to=2491870 https://nowcomment.com/documents/278037?scroll_to=2491870 the way that these people live off scavenging isn't good and at times very dangerous , which is why most like Vath Sam Oeun want factory jobs for their children or for themselves. Fri, 25 Jun 2021 12:07:34 -0400 Main Idea https://nowcomment.com/documents/278037?scroll_to=2491846 https://nowcomment.com/documents/278037?scroll_to=2491846 A lot of people say it is like "a dream" to have a job in a sweatshop because it's better than what they are doing right now Fri, 25 Jun 2021 12:04:33 -0400 Main Idea https://nowcomment.com/documents/278037?scroll_to=2491842 https://nowcomment.com/documents/278037?scroll_to=2491842 people go scavenging in the garbage where the air is toxic just to make 5 cents a pound of plastic Fri, 25 Jun 2021 12:02:44 -0400 Opinion https://nowcomment.com/documents/278034?scroll_to=2491705 https://nowcomment.com/documents/278034?scroll_to=2491705 I think that it's very good that organizations are finally wanting to make a change to avoid tragedies like the Tazreen fire or the building collapse in Savar Thu, 24 Jun 2021 13:10:29 -0400 Main idea https://nowcomment.com/documents/278034?scroll_to=2491693 https://nowcomment.com/documents/278034?scroll_to=2491693 The agreement needs more support from brands so that it can be put in effect.
