Tue, 31 Aug 2021 22:42:54 +0400 Why was the school district so against giving the Mexican students the same education as the Anglo students? https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2533416 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2533416 Besides the fact that the Mexican students were from different backgrounds, is there a deeper meaning as to why they are being segregated against?
