The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 created ambitious goals for closing the achievement gap, some say too ambitious. But what ended up happening was the educational needs of all students were not being met.

(Adler & Hans, 2017)Prisoners were subjected to unimaginable terrors from the moment they arrived in the camps; it was a dehumanizing existence that involved a struggle for survival against a system designed to annihilate them. (Press, 2017. D805.5.T54 A34813 2017) Once again a man with too much money and power took it upon himself to steal the lives of individuals for their own selfish gain.

(Howe & Lisi) Multicultural education encourages students of all races and ethnicities to explore, learn, and celebrate their culture.  It also emphasizes doing the same with other cultures. Starting within one's own culture, adopting and assimilating the richness of other cultures. (W. Howe & P. Lisi, 2020). If these little babies can get it, why can't the adults? If only society could see life as they do, the world would be a much better place!

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Demonstrators again held rallies in Southern California and nationwide on Saturday to condemn the recent spike in hate crimes against people of Asian descent in the U.S.

In Koreatown, a "Stop Asian Hate" solidarity march was led by a youth troupe of drummers who headed westbound on Olympic Boulevard from Berendo Street.

Hundreds of marchers carried signs with such phrases as "Stop Killing Asians,'' "Keep My Grandma Safe!'' "Enough is Enough'' and "Hate is a Virus.'' The march concluded at Normandie Avenue, where a rally was held.

"We need to continue to be loud and stand together to stop hate crimes,'' Los Angeles County Supervisor Holly Mitchell said. "Now is not the time to be silent, let's continue to support each other and speak out against hate.''

The march and rally were organized by the Korean American Federation of Los Angeles in partnership with 20 community-based organizations.

The shootings earlier this month that left eight people dead in Atlanta, including six women of Asian descent, raised more concern about the nationwide spike in hate crimes and violent attacks against the Asian American Pacific Islander community.

Some say Asian Americans have been pushed to the breaking point.

"There's a lack of awareness and knowledge and education when it comes to the AAPI experience in America," said activist May Lee. "Because of that, people just don't understand that there has been oppression, there has been racism for so long. But the Asian community has sort of swallowed it."
Personal stories at the center of National Day of Action and Healing to stop anti-Asian hate crimes

"We want to tell the world ... that enough is enough," said Steven Kang, director of external affairs for the Koreatown Youth and Community Center in Los Angeles. "We are marching in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in the AAPI community, as well as our allies in the African American and Latinx communities as well."

"Stop Anti-Asian Violence, Stop China-Bashing'' rallies were also held at Los Angeles City Hall and at the intersection of Santa Monica and La Cienega boulevards in West Hollywood, organized by the ANSWER Coalition, or Act Now to Stop War and End Racism.

Meanwhile, in San Bernardino, the Pure Land Foundation, an organization founded by Chinese philanthropist Bruno Wang, helped local families by bringing its mobile pantry to Pacific High School and distributing free food. Organizers said that, especially in light of recent events, they wanted to show that their community is just as much a part of the fabric that contributes to the success of America.

What organizers described as "a community vigil and healing space to grieve and denounce violence against Asian Americans, misogyny, classism, racism and white supremacy'' was held Saturday at Barnes Park in Monterey Park. The event was organized by SGV Progressive Action, which bills itself as a "grassroots collective in the San Gabriel Valley acting in solidarity with Black Lives Matter.''

Many in attendance said unity is helping them heal.

During the vigil, speakers said recent violence against the AAPI community have stirred up painful memories.

"Things that I've experienced throughout my life, things that I know other Asian American women have experienced throughout their lives and we've repressed these memories and these pains because we needed to to survive," said Jennifer Tang.

In Hollywood on Friday night, activists honoring the victims of last week's deadly mass shooting in the Atlanta area held a candlelight vigil that brought traffic to a standstill on Sunset Boulevard.

Earlier Friday in the San Gabriel Valley, demonstrators marched through the streets to decry hate crimes against the Asian American and Pacific Islander community.

We learn information about our own cultural identities at a very young age. (Derman Sparks & Ramsey, 2011). Is it wrong to want to protect your own culture when someone is making a mockery of it? This is why being culturally sensitive is important. Learning about other cultures helps us to understand how our interpretation of another culture could be offensive.

What does it mean when a man is saying I can't breathe to the man who is kneeling on his neck?  To Derrick Chauvin, it meant absolutely nothing. As a result of his non-willingness to act, George Floyd's life came to an end. Now his children and family are left with a memory that not only changed their lives forever but also changed the world!

I struggle with this culture because it's against everything the bible teaches me. I don't discriminate, nor do I treat someone from the LGBTQ community any differently than I would another. I don't judge someone from this community because what they do is between them and the god they serve. I pray for them and treat them with love and respect.  If our society could learn to PRAY for change, rather than WAR for change, then maybe real change could take place.
