Add this to your list of discrimination:

On April 8, the LBJ Presidential Library in Austin, Texas will host Presidents Obama, Bush, Carter, and Clinton among others as part of a Civil Rights Summit to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. That same day the Librotraficantes and a statewide coalition descend on Austin to mark the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act by stamping out one of the last vestiges of the discrimination the law was intended to defeat.

President Johnson taught in a Mexican Only school in Cotulla, Texas.

The tragedy and irony of this fact is that it is not well known and there’s not one single official course to convey this rich Texas, American, and Mexican American history.

On April 8 we will demand that the Texas State Board of Education change that. The GOP can turn their backs on us, or they can walk together with us as we update the American Dream. But this will happen. History is no our side.

The Mexican Americans aren’t being discriminated against:

Let’s review some REAL examples of USA discrimination:
1. The genocide of Native Americans
2. The slavery of Africans
3. The forced Military induction of Irish Immigrants during the Civil War.
4. The concentration camp imprisonment of Japanese Americans WWII

If Mexican Americans want their children to learn the history of the Mexican Government, than in these United States, they are free to create their own schools for that purpose.

Not buying what the Author Tony Diaz is selling. I am all for blocking the vote on Mexican-American studies for Texas public schools. Keep politics out of public schools, not just when it suits you, but always.
