It's shameful seeing people think of themselves as superior to others just because of race and color ect. https://nowcomment.com/documents/248947?scroll_to=2314458 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248947?scroll_to=2314458 Thu, 04 Feb 2021 15:14:11 -0500 Parker thought of non-violent ways to take land, which reminds me of tactics used from past pople. https://nowcomment.com/documents/248947?scroll_to=2314454 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248947?scroll_to=2314454 Thu, 04 Feb 2021 15:12:07 -0500 I wonder how many people actually supported the war. https://nowcomment.com/documents/248947?scroll_to=2314449 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248947?scroll_to=2314449 Thu, 04 Feb 2021 15:09:44 -0500 Yes, I feel like this connects to any things because people use God to make things seem rightous. https://nowcomment.com/documents/248947?scroll_to=2314444 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248947?scroll_to=2314444 Thu, 04 Feb 2021 15:07:14 -0500 I feel like it just depends on the people, everyone would have different opinions. https://nowcomment.com/documents/248947?scroll_to=2314440 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248947?scroll_to=2314440 Thu, 04 Feb 2021 15:06:12 -0500 It seems like it, calling a truce means no further fighting. https://nowcomment.com/documents/248947?scroll_to=2314438 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248947?scroll_to=2314438 Thu, 04 Feb 2021 15:04:58 -0500 They wanted to gain land that way they can have more slaves and control more parts of the world. https://nowcomment.com/documents/248947?scroll_to=2314436 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248947?scroll_to=2314436 Thu, 04 Feb 2021 15:03:57 -0500 It was probably a good amount of soldiers who didn't make it https://nowcomment.com/documents/248947?scroll_to=2314430 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248947?scroll_to=2314430 Thu, 04 Feb 2021 15:01:57 -0500 They knew the outcome was going to be bad but they still wanted the moment. https://nowcomment.com/documents/248947?scroll_to=2314428 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248947?scroll_to=2314428 Thu, 04 Feb 2021 15:00:51 -0500 I wonder the same thing, maybe it's because white men owned slaves. https://nowcomment.com/documents/248947?scroll_to=2314419 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248947?scroll_to=2314419 Thu, 04 Feb 2021 14:58:04 -0500 I agree, the goal of expansion was so they could feel superior and accomplished https://nowcomment.com/documents/248947?scroll_to=2297692 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248947?scroll_to=2297692 Thu, 28 Jan 2021 00:01:57 -0500 I was surprised to learn this because it still shocks me how they did something unfair for their own benefits. https://nowcomment.com/documents/248947?scroll_to=2297660 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248947?scroll_to=2297660 Wed, 27 Jan 2021 23:59:55 -0500 Isn't it crazy how we heard so many stories about abe being an honest man, and it still applies to this? https://nowcomment.com/documents/248947?scroll_to=2297659 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248947?scroll_to=2297659 Wed, 27 Jan 2021 23:58:36 -0500 I wonder if things would have been different if the party was bigger, would the war have happened? https://nowcomment.com/documents/248947?scroll_to=2297655 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248947?scroll_to=2297655 Wed, 27 Jan 2021 23:54:26 -0500 I agree with you, it makes me angry learning how polk handled things. https://nowcomment.com/documents/248947?scroll_to=2297651 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248947?scroll_to=2297651 Wed, 27 Jan 2021 23:53:05 -0500 it's like they took matter into their own hands to get what they wanted https://nowcomment.com/documents/248947?scroll_to=2297648 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248947?scroll_to=2297648 Wed, 27 Jan 2021 23:50:48 -0500 It makes me wonder why polk was so impulsive. https://nowcomment.com/documents/248947?scroll_to=2297630 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248947?scroll_to=2297630 Wed, 27 Jan 2021 23:49:34 -0500 I agree, polk was eager to expand land he was doing anything to get people to agree with him. https://nowcomment.com/documents/248947?scroll_to=2297627 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248947?scroll_to=2297627 Wed, 27 Jan 2021 23:48:14 -0500 Yes, the U.S showed aggression because they didn't get what they wanted. https://nowcomment.com/documents/248947?scroll_to=2297625 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248947?scroll_to=2297625 Wed, 27 Jan 2021 23:46:02 -0500 I feel like the U.S was very forceful because they hold dominance over other Counties since they were powerful. https://nowcomment.com/documents/248947?scroll_to=2297621 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248947?scroll_to=2297621 Wed, 27 Jan 2021 23:43:27 -0500 I agree, that's what I was thinking ing, possibly he's involved in the catastrophe https://nowcomment.com/documents/248947?scroll_to=2297606 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248947?scroll_to=2297606 Wed, 27 Jan 2021 23:42:02 -0500 I am not surprised to learn that America took over California. This also connects with the concept and ideology of Manifest Destiny, we previously learned about. https://nowcomment.com/documents/248947?scroll_to=2283600 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248947?scroll_to=2283600 Mon, 25 Jan 2021 14:41:44 -0500 It amazes me learning about how the army moved upon the orders, and how Taylor led them. They had certain tactics and strategies. https://nowcomment.com/documents/248947?scroll_to=2283598 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248947?scroll_to=2283598 Thu, 21 Jan 2021 17:39:00 -0500 It makes me angry to learn that he lost respect for mexican right's and I don't understand why the general would stain a point to get it. https://nowcomment.com/documents/248947?scroll_to=2283568 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248947?scroll_to=2283568 Thu, 21 Jan 2021 15:06:09 -0500 I wonder how the Troops will be moved to Rio Grande since it's a challenge, Will they be successful? https://nowcomment.com/documents/248947?scroll_to=2283534 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248947?scroll_to=2283534 Thu, 21 Jan 2021 14:53:54 -0500 I am surprised to get insight on his logic because it makes me wonder what kind of man he is, and what personality traits he portrays. https://nowcomment.com/documents/248947?scroll_to=2283487 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248947?scroll_to=2283487 Thu, 21 Jan 2021 14:40:47 -0500 Yes, it's always good to see the big picture. They definitely got a point across and it helped a lot in seeing the issue with inequality. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2056698 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2056698 Wed, 11 Nov 2020 21:05:33 -0500 The trial was very succesful globally as it gained recognition. It was an eye opener for many as they demanded equality.Minority groups, soldiers and many more were with the mexicans and spoke on inequality, and how mexicans should have the same rights. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2056695 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2056695 Wed, 11 Nov 2020 21:05:33 -0500 It took a lot of courage to speak up about the situation. After all the hatred and racism it's a relif that they get what they were aiming for. They got what they wanted and had fought for the whole time. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2056692 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2056692 Wed, 11 Nov 2020 21:05:33 -0500 I was thinking the same thing about your connection. It's so disappointing how the superintendent talked about Mexicans this way. It's a good comparison because he does compare them to pigeons. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2056628 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2056628 Wed, 11 Nov 2020 21:05:33 -0500 Mendez experienced something really traumatic. What they said in the courtroom during the trial is something you take to the heart. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2056615 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2056615 Wed, 11 Nov 2020 21:05:33 -0500 I value your viewpoints about children in society. They should be taught equality, they don't understand much as they are a younger generation. The fact that they use this as an excuse is startling. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2056588 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2056588 Wed, 11 Nov 2020 21:05:33 -0500 I completely agree, it's unnecessary behavior and hatred. It's very immature of them, and no child should feel neglected based on their skin/race. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2056554 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2056554 Wed, 11 Nov 2020 21:05:33 -0500 Yes, it was difficult to find people willing to testify because many feared to get deported or fired. Some Chicanos still struggle with this fear, like the teachers at Angelo. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2056552 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2056552 Wed, 11 Nov 2020 21:05:33 -0500 A person with this persona shouldn't deserve to be working with children. These principles are unnecessary, everyone needs equality, the superintendent should have thought about everyone and put himself in their position, hierarchy is not the way to go. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2051738 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2051738 Wed, 11 Nov 2020 21:05:33 -0500 "Americanizing" has honestly always been a racial excuse for every situation. Everyone should have the right to be and express who they are. The ideology behind "Americanization" is upsetting for trying to change the ways of a person, in this case a group https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2051734 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2051734 It's a very controlling approach. And when they make excuses it makes it much worse and makes it look even more bad for what they're actually trying to do which is segregate upon skin color, last names etc. Wed, 11 Nov 2020 21:05:33 -0500 Mr. Mendez was fighting with a purpose. Im very glad he didn't give up on the children. He has now impacted the lives of many for equality. He saw the unfairness in the situation and took initiative in solving it. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2051731 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2051731 Wed, 11 Nov 2020 21:05:33 -0500 It upsets me how much segregation was enforced upon mexicans. People were really that offended by darker skin complections? That's unbelievable how many things were off limits for them. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2051730 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2051730 Wed, 11 Nov 2020 21:05:33 -0500 This comment is very accurate from what I believe. Mexicans should stick together and falsify the assumptions made for us. Only we can make a difference, and I think we have a great advantage because we're the next generation, still young, and mindful. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2051725 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2051725 Wed, 11 Nov 2020 21:05:33 -0500 I found it very empowering and generous that parents had hope for their children having a better education. It's a strong message that is applied to today, many immigrants want their children to excel and be successful in the educational field. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2051722 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2051722 The fact that they want a better future for their children really warms my heart because they are prioritizing future generations and putting themselves aside and being selfless. Wed, 11 Nov 2020 21:05:33 -0500 I feel the same way about this situation. It's very unfair that Chicanos were treated this way. It's as if they saw no potential in their education and had very low expectations and standards for them. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2051720 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2051720 Wed, 11 Nov 2020 21:05:33 -0500 I agree with your feelings about schools practicing segregation. The generation the mexican children were in at the moment wasn't the best for education and excelling in pedagogy. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2051719 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2051719 Wed, 11 Nov 2020 21:05:33 -0500 This is similar to the racial situation that happened to the Africans. They had to work for white ranchers as well this is why they think they have power over all the other races. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2051712 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2051712 Wed, 11 Nov 2020 21:05:33 -0500 I agree with you, it seems that no matter what, rasism will never be abolished. Superiority has always been seen from whites compared to darker skinned people. It's so messed up how the world thinks this way based off our looks. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2051705 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2051705 Wed, 11 Nov 2020 21:05:33 -0500 Peaceful protest are the way to go when you're trying to stand up for something. Simply resisting is good enough to prove a point, it says a lot so the fact that he didn't register the students was a simple yet powerful thing to do https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2028993 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2028993 Wed, 11 Nov 2020 21:05:31 -0500 I find it really suprising how powerful people can be at an extent. A couple really changed the law for hispanic children to be treated equally and fairly, and did them all a huge favor that impacted their lives. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2028967 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2028967 Wed, 11 Nov 2020 21:05:30 -0500 Finally, he Mexicans had won the case. Some board members wanted to continue fighting it but already spent money and attempted it in many ways. The white's had to just go with it, and deal with it in their own ways. https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2013626 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2013626 Thu, 03 Sep 2020 20:11:57 -0400 The board didn't even ask the Mexican parents how they felt about the new school, or didn't even take their thoughts into consideration. They did it as an act of selfishness and what they tought was better for THEIR children and not all of them. https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2013624 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2013624 Thu, 03 Sep 2020 20:06:34 -0400 it's a teachers job to give everyone undivided attention, and abilities to their full potential and make sure no one's falling behind, it will only make it easier for her part and not the students nor the families. https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2013615 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2013615 Thu, 03 Sep 2020 19:53:38 -0400 she gives her own opinion, about how most families live in poverty. There's only 2 teachers, and she only has one year of experience. It wasn't nessacary for her opinion in my eyes because I doubt she's even trying to be patient with each student https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2013614 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2013614 Thu, 03 Sep 2020 19:53:38 -0400 Both the perspectives were examined in the court. The teacher gives reasoning as to why she believes they should have a new school for the mexican children which is because they're falling behind 1-2 years, she claims she doesn't want them to feel inferio https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2013613 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2013613 Thu, 03 Sep 2020 19:53:38 -0400 family by reporing them. https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2013514 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2013514 Thu, 03 Sep 2020 18:52:57 -0400 It makes me furious at the fact that the white man was threatening the mexican families rights. It's obvious this is a racial situation and parents are upset about it. It's a crazy thought to me that county holds that much power, and can instantly scare a https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2013512 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2013512 Wed, 16 Sep 2020 15:04:58 -0400 inferior because of race. https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2013499 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2013499 Thu, 03 Sep 2020 18:44:39 -0400 Children to a barn? If you think about it, who would want that for their child, and they'd get hand me down on top of that, it's not right. They're making life more difficult and changing educational opportunities all because they're treating them https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2013498 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2013498 Thu, 03 Sep 2020 18:44:39 -0400 Honestly it's really unfair to the mexican families, how they're being treated, whites have always felt superior to other races.
