Quote 12
"Those Mexican children who did attend school faced segregation and an education designed to rid them of their native language and customs." (Spring p. 91)
This made me very upset to read! How could a human being try to rid someone of their own customs? Students were forced to conform to the language and customs of others. That shows how horrible our country was in our history. Every child should be given the opportunity to learn without being forced to change as an individual. We need to provide these students with translators that can help them learn as well as having them learn the English language without feeling any regret to their own language and culture.
