DIRECTIONS - Answer the following:

1. Any reactions you want to share (NOT summaries)

2.  Think like an organizer - what are the lessons + strategies learned from the article you read? (e.g. I have to think about 5 month long protests, not just 5 hour long protests)

This was interesting because I've always heard that segregation was a major issue, but I haven't heard about this affecting other minority groups.

Ethnic studies is really a way for students to break certain barriers that hold them back. Such as poverty, violence, etc

Interesting how the other side felt that these classes were "stocking racial tension" and "radicalizing" students

I feel that appreciative that my school has different racial and cultural clubs but I feel like that should be included in the circulum and in history classes not only in afterschool clubs

1. I find the work that these two youth are doing to collect stories and promote having those discussions about race in classrooms to be very important but also just pretty cool and fascinating.

2. There’s an emphasis on “self-activating before you can show up as an activist for others” which discusses the importance in making sure to educate and familiarize yourself with the stories of others and in racial literacy before you can work in racial justice related activism work. Also story-telling is an effective method to organize people. They also discuss about applying the racial literacy lense to any field/area of interest which I found to be interest.

1. I definitely felt appreciative of the racial and ethnic affinity groups  at the school. I enjoyed learning about what the students themselves thought relative to the program.

2. Fight against backlash in a way where you can prove yourself and what you are fighting for.

1. the ethnic studies strike is considered the longest strike to have been held. a lot of financial cutbacks came along with it. agree with it being successful

1. i thought the idea of putting the kids in small groups based off race and then putting them in larger groups was a good way to help with cultural appreciation and having a safe reflection place but I feel like in the long run it would segregate the class more.
2. it takes a long time to get results and see how people react to certain implementations

1. Proud of the Chicanx students who protested against the racial inequity in classrooms but also disturbed that these existed in the first place
2. A lesson that I learned was to never stop pushing against what you stand for. The Chicanx population didn't give up for their rights in school and they were the start to an acceleration of Ethnic studies all around the country.

1. Agree with color-blindness harming minority children!  Since race is a social construct, it shouldn't be something we're 'afraid' to talk about. Color-blindness is just acting like the problems of race in this country are just to be ignored and not seen.
2. Children should be taught how race is used in this country and why we use it. the history of race needs to be taught because children catch on to how we treat race early on, in this case many saw talking about race as a negative thing.
