I think the overall theme of this week's readings was the negative impact of stereotyping within the education process and how it creates a bad learning environment for the students associated with said stereotypes while also making them victims of prejudice. All three readings draw from the various experiences of students being persecuted based on a stereotype that society has ingrained within us.
A crucial point made by Chavez is how teachers and sometimes even principles will treat students of color in a much harsher fashion than the white students. Because of negative stereotypes they have inherited, the teachers tend to try and make examples out of the students of color and often treat them as if they aren't fit for the level of education
