Such as leaving their home country to work as field workers. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2535608 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2535608 Thu, 02 Sep 2021 01:12:14 +0700 I agree with you because the Anglos were fully encouraged to continue school and get a more successful job. Then one involving physical labor. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2533427 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2533427 Wed, 01 Sep 2021 01:39:43 +0700 "to help these children take place in society" https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2533421 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2533421 This quote discusses how schools and other officials taught Mexican children hands-on tasks to replace their parents' jobs, which were also hands-on. Wed, 01 Sep 2021 01:37:05 +0700 Even if the mexicans didn't get where we brought a voice for us minority groups that segregation is wrong the case of Brown v. Education helped keep that statement where minorities were separated and that it was wrong. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2055942 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2055942 Thu, 12 Nov 2020 09:05:33 +0700 I was surprised that the court overruled the mexicans, with that the mexicans and other minority groups rose up and defended themselves for their rightful earned rights. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2055936 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2055936 Thu, 12 Nov 2020 09:05:33 +0700 The mendezes knew this was wrong,they took action and sued the school got a lawyer and asked the other mexican families to participate to change the school system. To make things right for the kids and stop segregation between mexicans and whites. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2050267 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2050267 Fri, 03 Sep 2021 01:52:02 +0700 In the trial shows how racist James L. Kent was, talking about how mexicans are disgusting with their diseases and lice. Also claiming he wouldn't dare to even enroll a mexican child to the white school. Even if they had fair skin and knew english. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2050238 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2050238 Thu, 12 Nov 2020 09:05:32 +0700 The white school system was finally shown that they weren't actually trying to "help" the mexican kids but instead didn't look through if the student needed help with the english language.Yet segregated the mexicans from their last names and skin color. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2050171 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2050171 Thu, 12 Nov 2020 09:05:32 +0700 When the mexicans got segregated it went to the point where other communities and places didn't even let mexicans interact or near whites in public. When this came the mexicans took action to change this segregation. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2040858 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2040858 Thu, 12 Nov 2020 09:05:31 +0700 Mexicans work day and night to support for their family to only have their children segregated with poor education. When a family are rejected yet when familys look "white enogh" they could interact with the whites. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2040833 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2040833 Thu, 12 Nov 2020 09:05:31 +0700 Yes mexicans left their country with the idea of their children having a better life with a right education.Yet the whites are tying to stop them by segregating children to keep the ,"white population to keep the Mexican on his knees in an onion patch.” https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2040831 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2040831 Thu, 12 Nov 2020 09:05:31 +0700 This makes me so angry that the mexican schools were not only segregated from whites but now get lower quality education. As well as teaching them double standers ¨Mexican schools focused on teaching boys industrial skills and girls domestic tasks.¨ p.11 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2029494 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2029494 Thu, 12 Nov 2020 09:05:31 +0700 I don't understand why people thought this was normal. How different races were segregated, whites having nice homes with their children learning, while mexicans were told to stay away from others, had substandard homes and corrupted education systems. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2029037 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2029037 Thu, 12 Nov 2020 09:05:31 +0700 I was surprised when I found out that when Soledad took her kids and her brothers kids to enroll to school and half of them were only accepted because they had a fair appearance but the other half couldn't because they were a bit darker than the others. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2028965 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2028965 Thu, 12 Nov 2020 09:05:30 +0700 The mexicans won the trial and are no going to a normal school with everyone else. When going back they can now socialize with the whites and other race kids together, not segregated. https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2018304 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2018304 Mon, 07 Sep 2020 10:13:34 +0700 Theyre asking why should the mexican kids go there even though some already know spanish and live far away from the new school, and live closer to the old school where the white kids go (48:41) https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2018287 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2018287 Mon, 07 Sep 2020 10:08:02 +0700 That the new school location would be easier for the children, yet some students live far away from it. As well some white kids living closer to the new school. Why shouldn't the white kids go there if they live closer to the new school than the other. https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2018285 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2018285 Mon, 07 Sep 2020 10:08:02 +0700 44:36 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2018252 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2018252 Mon, 07 Sep 2020 09:53:27 +0700 It was the school boards idea to make this other school for the mexicans. The people of the school board signed their own petition to separate the whites and mexicans. https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2018250 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2018250 Mon, 07 Sep 2020 09:53:27 +0700 They did this to scare the parents but the parents didn't give in to make sure the mexican council can see that this new school is basically segregating the whites with mexicans. https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2009860 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2009860 Thu, 03 Sep 2020 02:13:59 +0700 In the court they were continuing to say why were the mexican kids segregated when needed extra help. Yet when a white child is confused they are simply held back a year. https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2009851 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2009851 Thu, 03 Sep 2020 02:10:56 +0700 The mexican council are talking about this whole sending the mexican kids to a barn to learn english, is just a way to segregate the mexican kids from the white kids. https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2009813 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2009813 Thu, 03 Sep 2020 01:54:42 +0700 People from the school are noticing that the mexican kids aren't attending school, so some showed up at their houses to see why and the mexican parents explained that they want the same equality as white kids to o to a normal school. https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2009794 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2009794 Thu, 03 Sep 2020 02:13:59 +0700 The white people wanted to send the little mexican kids to a barn instead of a school to learn. https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2002699 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2002699 Thu, 03 Sep 2020 01:42:58 +0700 To teach mexican kids english the schools put them into ¨Americanization classes¨ https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2001829 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2001829 Tue, 01 Sep 2020 02:39:53 +0700 Most mexicans in lemon groove had roots in Baja California https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2001611 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2001611 Tue, 01 Sep 2020 02:17:21 +0700 The whites were starting to get worried at the growth of mexican children in the schools with their white children https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2001572 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2001572 Thu, 03 Sep 2020 01:43:37 +0700 This segregation took at 1954 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2001562 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2001562 Thu, 03 Sep 2020 01:44:54 +0700
