It's amazing how they were able to leave a mark that others can be inspired by. Wed, 21 Sep 2022 01:35:09 +0800 Hardworking, impressive https://nowcomment.com/documents/325386?scroll_to=2900186 https://nowcomment.com/documents/325386?scroll_to=2900186 I thought that it was very impressive that the Mendez family decided to fight for their children which had other parents find the courage to get their children a good education as well. It was very cool to see how such a small thing can have a big impact that was very beneficial to others. Wed, 21 Sep 2022 01:30:52 +0800 Hardworking, impressive https://nowcomment.com/documents/325386?scroll_to=2900168 https://nowcomment.com/documents/325386?scroll_to=2900168 It was very impressive how because they choose to do something for the kid others saw the worth to fight for an equal education as well. It is cool to see how one small thing can leave such a big impact that benefits others in a good way. Wed, 21 Sep 2022 01:36:44 +0800 True https://nowcomment.com/documents/325386?scroll_to=2896406 https://nowcomment.com/documents/325386?scroll_to=2896406 I agree with you that it shows how very little they cared about the education of the children. It shouldn't matter what color their skin tone is because that doesn't make them less of a person. Sat, 17 Sep 2022 01:36:59 +0800 Discrimination, Unfair https://nowcomment.com/documents/325386?scroll_to=2896299 https://nowcomment.com/documents/325386?scroll_to=2896299 I found it shocking how they would try to say that the children didn't know English but not check to see if that was true. It is unfair because it shows how they decided to only pay attention to what color their skin was and didn't care if they knew English or not because they thought less of Mexican children. Sat, 17 Sep 2022 01:41:27 +0800 True https://nowcomment.com/documents/325386?scroll_to=2893186 https://nowcomment.com/documents/325386?scroll_to=2893186 I agree with you they contributed so much to the community so it's confusing why they wouldn't give them a little respect. I also agree that they should be focused on other things instead of the color of someones skin. Fri, 16 Sep 2022 01:20:18 +0800 Upsetting, unfair https://nowcomment.com/documents/325386?scroll_to=2893182 https://nowcomment.com/documents/325386?scroll_to=2893182 It was upsetting to learn that some of the Mexicans were scared to testify against their bosses but the upsetting part is that they felt scared to do so. It was sad that they felt as if they were trapped in a box and felt as if they wouldn't be able to speak freely due to being worried they may get fired for standing up to what they believed. Fri, 16 Sep 2022 01:32:57 +0800 I agree https://nowcomment.com/documents/325386?scroll_to=2888917 https://nowcomment.com/documents/325386?scroll_to=2888917 I totally agree with you Mexicans did so much for them so it's kinda sad how they couldn't give them even a little ounce of fairness. Even in schools, they wanted to go to learn but they instead didn't encourage them Wed, 14 Sep 2022 01:59:10 +0800 Upsetting https://nowcomment.com/documents/325386?scroll_to=2888900 https://nowcomment.com/documents/325386?scroll_to=2888900 I found this upsetting because these Mexican parents choose to give up everything where they grew up to try to make sure their children had a better life but instead they weren't welcomed where they traveled and had to face discrimination. It's upsetting that they thought the schools would help the children but instead the schools are not even trying to give them a good education. Wed, 14 Sep 2022 01:56:10 +0800 Very true https://nowcomment.com/documents/325386?scroll_to=2888891 https://nowcomment.com/documents/325386?scroll_to=2888891 I agree with you that they should have at least given them some education so they can choose what they would want to do. It's like they were trying to keep them in a box. Wed, 14 Sep 2022 01:52:03 +0800 Unfair, unsurprised https://nowcomment.com/documents/325386?scroll_to=2888859 https://nowcomment.com/documents/325386?scroll_to=2888859 I don't understand why they left the Mexican families with bad conditions to live in they left them in the areas they would never live in just because they worked in the fields. At the same time, I am not surprised they did that because the Angelos didn't want them to live where they lived. Wed, 14 Sep 2022 01:49:35 +0800 I agree the soldiers must have felt upset that things were still unequal. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2493131 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2493131 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 03:02:56 +0800 I agree with you the impact it had was really good https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2493130 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2493130 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 03:01:47 +0800 It nice to know that they had a part in changing people's perspectives.

Mexican Americans filed lawsuits https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2493119 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2493119 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 02:57:43 +0800 I agree with you it was very brave of them to fight for their rights. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2493084 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2493084 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 01:53:56 +0800 I agree with you it was obvious that they didn't want them in the school and discriminating them. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2493083 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2493083 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 01:52:25 +0800 I'm glad that the judge ruled in favor of the plaintiffs and also glad that he saw how wrong it was for the superintendent to say the things he said. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2493080 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2493080 Sat, 04 Sep 2021 02:38:57 +0800 It's sad how the superintendent thought that of them because of their skin tone/ race. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2493078 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2493078 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 01:46:34 +0800 I agree it's not cool how they thought it was right to basically take away their human rights. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2493031 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2493031 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 00:30:25 +0800 I agree with you that it was a very bold move to decide to fight and it's good that they want to fight for their children. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2493029 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2493029 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 00:28:47 +0800 I find it unfair how they weren't allowed in places and could only go to certain places on specific days. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2493026 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2493026 Fri, 02 Jul

https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2493007 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 00:20:17 +0800 I agree with you it is surprising and sad to think that Mexican kids were treated like they were less

different it shouldn't affect whether they let them in the school or not. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2492749 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2492749 Thu, 01

https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2492745 Thu, 01 Jul 2021 04:19:28 +0800 It's not right that Mexicans were excluded from many places
