Post #8:  East L.A. School Walkouts; aka the "Chicano Blowouts" & East LA 13 

# data[].attributes.body
Summary: The East L.A. walkouts were organized by Mexican and Mexican-American students who wanted to have opportunities to seek higher education both in high schools and universities. At the time Mexican students were wanted in Universities and were often pushed to trade or vocational career choices. They fought to have no discrimination against students at school and better funding for schools to make improvements. 13 members were eventually arrested by a program that was proof that the government-supported racial discrimination.
Analysis: This event is important because without these students speaking up there wouldn't be opportunities for students of color, there wouldn't be any encouragement or advanced classes provided for them. Students were no longer disciplined if the were to speak another language. Equality will always be on high demand from students until a change is made.
Reflection: I think it is important for teenagers to participate in Political activism. Even though it is going to sound so cheesy I must say it. We are the future, if we truly want change then we need to use our voice and demand for change not simply hang back waiting for change to occur.

I most align with the democratic party but more specifically I am a liberal democrat according to the Political party Quiz. If I were able to vote I think I would register to vote as a democrat.

Post #7: Political Socialization - Demographic Characteristics

# data[].attributes.body
The demographic characteristics have an influence in my political ideology. Since I am part of the younger generation we tend to have more liberal views and want to be super optimistic. We care for protection and improvement of education because we are still in that system. We care for there to be affordable healthcare because we are yet to have a stable source of income. As part of the immigrant group, my political views will be different because I would want what is best for me. I will believe that there will be a path for me to work legally and live here without any worry of being deported.

Post #6: My Political Socialization- Family

# data[].attributes.body
This agent influences my political view because most of my family does have very liberal views however some of my family have conservative views in terms of being traditional values such as a relationship between a man and a woman along with the roles they have. To those conservative values, I strongly oppose them if I am ever in contact with that side of my family. I learned to be more open on equality with my family if I am ever in a situation when our values clash. The liberal views my family does have are based on our personal life. We want better pay for workers and a path for immigrants because we are of those groups.

Joe Biden believes that there should be a path to citizenship for Dreamer. (Politico)
This element is important to me because even though I wasn't able to apply to be a DREAMER I have family who are dreamers and who would worry less about being detained or deported if they were able to become citizens. I believe this is critical because America was founded as a country built on the work of immigrants. It shows that there are people out there who are willing to put in the work to be in this country and those who want to succeed. There wouldn't be anyone hurt unless you are counting the people who have an immense amount of hate towards DREAMERS.
Elizabeth Warren believes that Private Prisons should be eliminated. (Politico)
This element is important because Private Prisons are part of the reason for Mass Incarceration. This element is important to me because prisons like these have a prison quota that the prisons have to meet. In other words, they need to have a certain amount of people in prison in order to have money. This element would hurt I guess the companies who fund these private prisons and some political figures.
Bernie Sanders is in favor of having universal background checks. (Politico)
This element is important because it ensured that the people who dont pass the complete background check will be unable to purchase a gun.. this will also ensure that there aren't loopholes of just purchasing a gun without a background check. As a student, I care for more laws protecting others from gun violence due to a large number of mass shootings taking place in schools. This will hurt the people who strongly believe in having the right to bear arms.
Joe Biden believes that students should recieve two years of college for free. (Politico)
This element is important because the first two years of college are classes that dont necessarily go towards your major if anything those two years may be filled with college class requirements. As a student who is going to college soon, I would prefer this because in those two years I can figure out my major and actually finish my required classes before transferring to a University. This would hurt the colleges who usually have their money from tuition.
Lastly, Bernie Sander believed the Electoral College should be eliminated. (Politico)
This element is important because for years people have not liked the idea of the Electoral College (larger states). However, I feel that the voting for the next president should be on the people because, in the end, it will be the people who are either badly effects or well affected by any of the laws or policies throughout the country.

I believe my new super candidate is electable because they focus on the needs of the people over the needs of companies. I feel the people that would vote for them are people who have liberal beliefs and are leaning to the Democratic party. I believe that they can come close to winning the election but not sure if it is a definite win because they haven't said their opinion on other topics.

The image is just a silhouette with name tags in the head with mental health topics.
This image is saying things that are affecting students. Although it is a simple picture this issue matters to me because it is a topic that a lot of students struggle with. Most of my generation suffers from a bad mental health due to stress on studies as well as becoming adults and having to take on more responsibilities.

This image is from a podcast on GPBnews.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and concerns around mental health are a big issue in our society at large - and on college campuses.

Suicide is the second-leading cause of death among college students, and national data indicates that the problem is not unique.

Barry Schreier is director of the University Counseling Service at the University of Iowa, and communications committee chair at the Association of University and College Counseling Center Directors. He joined On Second Thought to talk about resources that aim to address these mental health concerns.

Based on my political beliefs I am a solid liberal. For example I believe that people from all around the world is an essential part of this nation's identity which tends to be a more liberal view. In addition, immigrant rights and LGBTQ+ rights are important to me which reflects a more liberal view.

This song was written by a man who struggled with his mental health for years. Most of his songs were written to express his mental health. Although he lost his battle many of his songs were to help other cope with the same problems that badly affect our society which is having a bad mental health.
This song although in a different language it has a really deep meaning. In this song it is basically saying that we need to accept that mistakes will be made and instead of giving ourselves a hard time we need to stop and take a deep breath and get through our struggles together.

"Its alright if you run out of breath. No one will blame. Its okay to make mistakes sometimes. Because anyone can do so. Although comforting by saying its alright are just words
Someone's breath. That heavy breath. How can I see through that? Though I can't understand your breath. It's alright I'll hold you.
You did a good job.

Take a deep breath
Until both sides of your heart get numb
Until it hurts a little
Let out your breath even more
Until you feel
like there's nothing left inside

It's alright if you run out of breath
No one will blame you
It's okay to make mistakes sometimes
Because anyone can do so
Although comforting by saying it's alright
Are just words

Someone's breath. That heavy breath
How can I see through that?
Though I can't understand your breath
It's alright I'll hold you

It's alright if you run out of breath
No one will blame you
It's okay to make mistakes sometimes
Because anyone can do so
Although comforting by saying it's alright
Are just words

Someone's breath. That heavy breath
How can I see through that?
Though I can't understand your breath
It's alright I'll hold you

Even if others think your sigh
Takes out energy and strength
I already know
That you had a day that's hard enough
To let out even a small sigh
Now don't think of anything else
Let out a deep sigh
Just let it out like that

Someone's breath. That heavy breath
How can I see through that?
Though I can't understand your breath
It's alright I'll hold you
You really did a good job

Post #2: ACLU: Know Your Rights- Students' Rights

# data[].attributes.body
Importance: I learned that if a student participates in  a walkout then the school must not discipline you with suspension.
Before you plan to walkout you have to look at the policies depending on the time a student will miss.
It also mentions to look into how this will be seen on your school record if it will be placed as an unexcused absence.

If a student is pregnant they must be given the same treatment as students who have temporary medical conditions.

There are things schools cant hold you accountable for.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Supreme Court ruled in 1969 that students do not "shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate." This is true for other fundamental rights, as well.

Do I have First Amendment rights in school?

You have the right to speak out, hand out flyers and petitions, and wear expressive clothing in school - as long as you don't disrupt the functioning of the school or violate school policies that don't hinge on the message expressed.

What counts as "disruptive" will vary by context, but a school disagreeing with your position or thinking your speech is controversial or in "bad taste" is not enough to qualify. Courts have upheld students' rights to wear things like an anti-war armband, an armband opposing the right to get an abortion, and a shirt supporting the LGBTQ community.

Schools can have rules that have nothing to do with the message expressed, like dress codes. So, for example, a school can prohibit you from wearing hats - because that rule is not based on what the hats say - but it can't prohibit you from wearing only pink pussycat hats or pro-NRA hats.

Outside of school, you enjoy essentially the same rights to protest and speak out as anyone else. This means you're likely to be most protected if you organize, protest, and advocate for your views off campus and outside of school hours.

You have the right to speak your mind on social media, and your school cannot punish you for content you post off campus and outside of school hours that does not relate to school.

Can my school tell me what I can and cannot wear based on my gender?

Public schools can have dress codes, but under federal law dress codes can't treat students differently based on their gender, force students to conform to sex stereotypes, or censor particular viewpoints.

Schools can't create a dress code based on the stereotype that only girls can wear some types of clothes and only boys can wear other types of clothes. For example, your school can require that skirts must be a certain length, but it cannot require that some students wear skirts and prohibit others from doing so based on the students' sex or gender expression. That also applies to pants, ties, or any other clothing associated with traditional gender roles.

Dress codes also must be enforced equally. For example, rules against "revealing" clothing, such as bans on tank tops or leggings, shouldn't be enforced only or disproportionately against girls.

All students should be allowed to wear clothing consistent with their gender identity and expression, whether they identify as transgender or cisgender. This also applies to homecoming, prom, graduation, and other special school events. Schools shouldn't require different types of clothing for special events based on students' sex or gender identity - for example, requiring tuxedos for boys and prom dresses for girls.

Can my school discipline me for participating in a walkout?

Because the law in most places requires students to go to school, schools can discipline you for missing class. But schools cannot discipline you more harshly because of the message or the political nature of your action.

The punishment you could face will vary by your state, school district, and school. If you're planning to miss a class or two, look up the policy for unexcused absences for your school and school district. If you're considering missing several days, read about truancy. Also take a look at the policy for suspensions.

If you are facing a suspension of 10 days or more, you have a right to a formal process and can be represented by a lawyer. Some states and school districts require a formal process for fewer days.

You should be given the same right to make up work just as any other student who missed classes.

What do I do if I'm confronted by police at my school?

If you're stopped by a police officer at your school, stay calm. Don't argue, resist, run away, or otherwise interfere with the officer. Ask if you're free to leave. If the answer is yes, calmly and silently walk away from the officer.

If the officer asks you a question, you have the right to remain silent. You also have the right to refuse to write or sign a statement. But if you waive these rights, anything you say, write, or sign can be used against you. And if you choose to make a statement, ask to have a lawyer, parent, or guardian present before you are questioned.

You can refuse to give your consent to be searched by the police. This may not stop the search, but this is the best way to protect your rights if you end up in court.

Don't consent to a phone search; police need a warrant to search your phone. The same goes for a strip-search. No police officer or school employee has the authority to strip-search you.

Don't resist, fight, or flee from an officer who is arresting you. Say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don't say anything, sign anything, or make any decisions without a lawyer present.

The rights of immigrant students

Schools cannot discriminate against students on the basis of race, color, or national origin.

Undocumented children cannot be denied their right to a free public education, and schools should not require families to prove their immigration status in order to enroll their children in school.

Students with limited English proficiency cannot be turned away by public schools, which must provide them with language instruction.

The rights of students with disabilities

Public schools are prohibited by federal law from discriminating against people with disabilities, and cannot deny them equal access to academic courses, field trips, extracurricular activities, school technology, and health services.

Educators and administrators must make necessary academic and medical accommodations, ensure equal access to educational activities and opportunities, and respond to harassment and bullying.

LGBTQ student rights

LGBTQ students have a right to be who they are and express themselves in public schools.

Public schools should not "out" students to their families.

Public schools have a responsibility to create a safe learning environment. They cannot ignore harassment based on a student's appearance or behavior. Students should report harassment or threats to a principal or counselor. This puts the school on notice that officials can be held legally responsible for not protecting students.

Public schools cannot force students to wear clothing inconsistent with their gender identity.

If a public school permits any noncurricular clubs - clubs that aren't directly related to classes taught in the school - then it must allow students to form a Gay-Straight Alliance or other LGBTQ-themed clubs, and the school can't treat it differently from other noncurricular clubs.

Students' transgender status and gender assigned at birth are confidential information protected by federal privacy law. If your school reveals that information to anyone without your permission, it could be violating federal law. If you don't want school officials revealing your private information to others, including your legal name, tell them very clearly that you want your information kept private and that they should not disclose that information to anyone without your consent.

Some states and cities explicitly protect the right of transgender students to use restrooms and locker rooms consistent with their gender identity. Additionally, several courts have ruled that excluding transgender boys and girls from using the same restrooms as other boys and girls violates federal education law. This is an area of the law that is changing a great deal right now. We recommend that you contact the ACLU if you have any questions about your rights at school.

The rights of pregnant students

Public schools and all schools that get federal funds are prohibited from excluding pregnant or parenting students from school, classes, or extracurricular activities, or pressuring them to drop out or change schools.

These schools must provide pregnant students the same accommodations that students with other temporary medical conditions are given, including the ability to make up missed classwork, attend doctor's appointments, take time off for childbirth and recovery, and learn in a safe, nonjudgmental environment.

These schools are not allowed to punish a student who chooses to terminate a pregnancy or reveal a student's private medical information.

Reflection:
This video is meant to open the minds of people who believe that it is alright for people to be detained when looking for a better future. It is showing the perspective of the effects on the brain.
To me this video is showing how children are being affected by detention centers. This is important because there are people who don't believe there isn't anything wrong with detaining people who aren't welcomed into the country. I want people to see this side of the mind and how it is effected because is something the human eye cant always see.
