Es la via del gobierno “no-tan-democratico” hoy dia en EEUU, de explotar al trabajo de los Latinos y pues traicionarnos. Y es la responsibilidad nuestra castigar a los politicos que tratan a nuestra gente con desprecio!

Blacks and Latinos are both the dispossessed people of America. Blacks were brought over under humiliating conditions by the British and their Anglo descendants, by the millions to do the dirty work that made America strong, while not being paid a cent for their contributions. Then further betrayed and humiliated even after they won their freedoms.

We Latinos, similarly, were invaded by Anglo imperialists during the Mexican War in 1845– with the Anglos’ intention of spreading atrocious Black slavery into our homelands in what is now the USA Southwest, no less. (Similar in Florida, then in Puerto Rico.) The Anglos brutalized and displaced us, massacred our people, then– after we had the guts to fight back and thwart their progress– tried to renege on their own treaty obligations following the war.

It’s now time to hold the Anglos to their obligations, to respect us if they want us to respect them. That means *all* the obligations– to respect our festivities, our culture, our absolute rights to utilize español for everything from offices and schools to hospitals and ballots and debate in the statehouses in the regions of our homelands. No exceptions, no tolerance for any more Anglo arrogance!

Education is the key here, and we will continue to fail our kids so long as they’re enrolled in the dilapidated, underfunded, Anglo-controlled English-medium only public schools, which are horrendous. The kids are unsafe there, they don’t learn much of anything and much of what they do learn is often Latino-hating propaganda.

I’ve been on this topic elsewhere so will just repeat it here:

There are three alternatives as far as I can tell. One is the increasingly popular, Spanish-English dual-medium schools, now not just at the elementary level but also in high schools and even universities, which tend to be higher quality overall and attract a better quality of teachers.

The second is private schools– also with the best being dual medium variety.

The third is homeschooling, in which parents can also establish a dual-medium curriculum, give a safe environment and actually educate our kids.

More Latinos are doing this, and as some people are saying, it’s especially valuable to do this in states outside of the SW, Chicago and Florida where Latinos have a traditionally strong presence and can rely on each other in the scholastic communities.

Yo mismo lo recomendaria a los padres Latinos que deben enfrentar los fracasos de la sistema de escuelas publicas en EEUU. Es la unica opción en realidad para nosotros y los niños, para proporcionarles el futuro mejor que merecen!
