The historical viewpoint towards this article is that students with a different race were seen as being different and useful than U.S Citizen. The government treated them negatively by their language they speak and as well having different face features, especially throughout this time period. The evidence utilized by the author are primary sources such as books, Journals and a table chart. A book that the author used is called The History of an Idea in America by Carlos M, this was published in 1977 and may be found on page 247. A journal that the author used is called A Cultural and Historical Framework written by the American Journal of Education, this was published in 1980 and may be found on page 246.

The only image he added was a table chart showing records of a elementary school. If the author could have added a few picture of the students who experience segregation this, then this could have supported his point throughout his essay. Without a visual source of the people who were living throughout this time period, the reader can't imagine what was occurring during this time. What I liked about these article is that the author provided great information, I also thought that the table he added was helpful to understanding about the founding of a elementary school. I found interesting reading about students throughout a different time period. The author could have make his work stronger if he could have added images of these mexicans students, how they were segregations throughout the Anglo-Saxon Ideologies. I will have liked to have a visual source about this event, how they felt to be segregated just to receive a decent education from the government. With having this images included then us the reader could have had a clearer look of what was occurring at this time. Otherwise everything else was excellent, I enjoyed reading this article about students and learning about how they were protesting for their rights throughout this

    In the Chicano community, children are an integral part of how the community can be developed due to the fact that they’re still learning things while young. For this reason, works created by Chicanos are especially important because children and young people can see themselves in the different modes of media. A book that helps this endeavor is Loteria by Mario Alberto Zambrano, where a young girl tells the story of her family’s demise using a deck of loteria cards. This book can be considered contemporary and modern due to Zambrano writing it in 2013, which allows young Chicanos to relate to the protagonist’s plight. Moreover, Loteria is able to show concepts that assist in supporting the student learning outcomes with the similarities and…

    This caused a feeling among students that their culture was not welcomed or allowed in American schools. Because discrimination in schools was so predominant, many Mexican American students did not finish school. According to Daniels, “in 1987 only 45 percent of Mexican Americans twenty-five years of age and older had a high school diploma” (Daniels, 318). When students are in schools that are severely underfunded and punished for speaking their language in their free time, it can be expected that many are not going to continue their education.…

Although educational change was talked about and seemingly in progress, equality still had a long way to go. Differences in racial and social classes became prevalent especially through schooling. Black Americans were limited and restrained with obstacles such as what schools they were allowed to attend, what classes they were to take, and by what the teachers were taught to educate on.…

White people didn’t want to change, and black people protested and riots broke out. American Indians and Hispanic Americans also protested.
