Thank you to all those veteranos that stood up for yourself and future generations of chicanos

Things like "conspiracy to disrupt the schools" is just another way of saying "You don't have the right to free speech or protest"

2024 and it seems we are very close to completely losing the fight against assimilation because most of the new generations are either whitewashed or blackwashed. Afrocentrism is the new form of malinchismo and mental colonization among our native communities and nobody is even addressing the issue for fear of being stigmatized and censored by their cancel culture I blame the parents for not teaching the children their roots. The only way were going to defeat this struggle against assimilation is through a decolonial education. This is the only way were going to start moving in the right direction

An excellent new summary-video of an important chapter in the history of civil and Chicano rights. We will continue to share this history with students at Universities and secondary schools. Thank you and se puede to Retro Report and producer Victor Cuoto!

Thanks! As a small nonprofit these kinds of compliments mean a lot.

My third grade elementary school teacher made fun of my last name. In fact, he made it into a song and sang it in front of the class, accompanied with his guitar. The whole class laughed with delight. As one of few Latinos in my school, I was bullied, beaten up, and constantly ridiculed. The teachers did nothing. And I couldn't go home and complain as teachers were to be respected. So I dealt with it from elementary school into middle school and it was horrendous. 😪

THIS should be mandatory for all west coast public schools. I was NEVER taught this history as a hispano in california.

I was in third grade in 1968 and I was bullied spit on and ridiculed for the way you dressed or spoke you were singled out. There have been changes and I didn’t let that stop me as an adult I’m successful in my life

I wonder if the walkouts were in some way connected to the student uprising in Europe in 1968, or if it was purely inspired by the Civil Rights and anti-war movement?

1975 Downey east middle school 6th grad to 9th grade , I remember teachers always telling me to sit in the rear of the class room. I remember Calvin Chung, we would make fun of the students up front on English and math class. The teacher would yel at the white kids and she would say, those kids in the back are going to work for you. I remember 2012 to 2020. I worked in Jeffersonville indiana the birth place of the KKK.. I meet ex-Klan members which they knew what they did was wrong, as if that teacher was there, if she was alive. I then worked in Shepardville Kentucky which Donald trump was elected , remember Walmart a lady telling me to go back? I asked where Mexico .. Wow, if felt like I was in Downey Cal 1970. Well, today.. Chicano Beverly Hills Downey California , I speak Spanglish with family and friends and work and bus suites, English only.

Sadly, we are often still left out of the conversation. The educational system still leaves out Latino voices, latino stories and history. Schools and administrators fail to advocate for these students. The media shows little interest in our stories, and Hollywood barely glances at the latino community, its interested in our money, not our stories.

🤷🏻‍♀️

I am an ignorant white person who wants to learn. Is the term Chicanos purely for Americans of Mexican descent or does it apply to other Spanish speaking peoples? Also I am a historian who would like to learn more about the Chicano movement. So please suggest books on the topic😀.

I’m happy to hear that you want to I learn more about the movimiento. Chicanos are people of Mexican descent. Yet, it could evolve to include all Latino people due to the interracial relationships. Consider reading “The Revolt of the Cockroach People by Oscar Zeta Acosta.

@@lykndeltoro2269 I stand corrected Carnal. Yet, we need to include Latinos in the mix. When I went to college, we had huge battles with Latino students who wanted to be part of our MECHA organization, but refused to be involved because they did not consider themselves Chicanos. The organization had to be called MECHA- Raza Unida to become an inclusive organization for all students of Latino descent.

who here from ms robs class

It's too bad we didn't see more teachers who bucked the system as it was and encourage Hispanic students (most of whose families actually arrived here legally back then, btw) to do their best as we saw dramatized in the movie "Stand and Deliver". (although I knew a lot of the Chicanos I knew at the time hated that movie and they felt teachers like the one Edward James Olmos protrayed were somehow sellouts to white culture, similar to the way blacks and Latinos feel today, only now they are being taught by the system about CRT and that they basically aren't interested in learning anything so they stopped testing them in many California schools and give them automatic A's as long as they come to class occasionally....) Come to of it, I think the movie WAS about this teacher. It's been awhile since I saw it. But this kind of protest for something that really MEANS something to the community and not like the UCLA pro-Hamas "protests" which seems to me more like well-to-do kids who crave something meaningful to do with their time. You'd think they'd quit school and join the Peace Corps instead. Go to the Mideast and protest THERE (if they'll have them). So this battle was fought and won, and now the Far Left has done their best to destroy everything that Chicanos fought so hard for by turning the current public schools into a system for radicalization and not to teach kids anything anymore but gender fluidity. California went from number 3 in education to the bottom 2 nationwide in the last 40 years under Democratic policies. No wonder they are losing Latino support. Even Black support.

❤2023 Book. Teaching white supremacy by Donald Yacovan. They stopped teaching white supremacy in public schools 1776-1965 due to Martin Luther King and Malcom X

Those student demands on the first page alone were both ludicrous and way to open-ended. No wonder they got rejected for the most part. Having bilingual teachers should only be used for bridging communication gaps. The common language across the whole country should be taught.
