    They said they wanted to show their support for the movement and did not feel that they were being disrespectful to the flag because they were kneeling. I told them that I understood and have had a number of students and friends who said they were frustrated by police brutality against people of color. However, I also wanted them to see that the lives lost fighting for freedom in the American Revolution, the Civil War and the civil rights movement, should also be respected.” These paragraphs show that this teacher understands why his two students kneeled instead of standing up, but then he states his beliefs by staying that it honors those who lost their lives for the country to be free so it should be respected. Now onto the counter article about why people shouldn’t stand during the pledge of allegiance it states, “How can I as a black educator have this bulletin board on my wall and make social justice a theme in my classroom each and every day and then get up and pledge allegiance to a country that has made it so clear that my life does not

    After reading Miguel and Valencia’s “From the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo to Hopwood,” I was shocked to find how Mexican Americans were treated in American students. I was expect poor treatment from our discussions in class as well as other readings, but after reading what the authors reported, including schools failing to address learning issues and pushing kids instead into economic mobility, I am deeply troubled I was not made aware of this sooner. Along with segregation on race basis, I would argue the struggles of Mexican American students was the greatest struggle for education equality in the 20th century, though the struggles gone through by other minorities surely should be discounted or overlooked.
