In this case, parents of mexican american students argued that schools should not be segregated, but the court ruled that segregation was necessary due to the fact that these students did not speak english. This case showed inconsistancy of policies and at the end of the day the treatment and schooling of the students depended on race.

Corpus Christi (1970)

Lemon Grove (1931):
Overview: First successful segregation case. The principal of Lemon Grove Grammar School, Jerome Greene, denied admission of Mexican students. Roberto Alvarez filed a lawsuit against the district of Lemon Grove because of the school board's discussions to separate buildings for the Mexican students. Judge Chambers declared that the separation of Mexican students was a blatant act of segregation. The Mexican students of Lemon Grove were equals to white children and therefore could not be segregated because Californian law did not permit this. ]]> 2021-10-06 14:10:57 UTC https://padlet.com/hnoor4/29t2iqdtrgwtitq2/wish/1796633467 https://padlet.com/hnoor4/29t2iqdtrgwtitq2/wish/1796633680 Mendez vs Westminster 1946]]> 2021-10-06 14:11:00 UTC https://padlet.com/hnoor4/29t2iqdtrgwtitq2/wish/1796633680 https://padlet.com/hnoor4/29t2iqdtrgwtitq2/wish/1796635268 Mendez v. Westminster 1946, established that separate is not equal and that Mexican American students should not be separated from white students. ]]> 2021-10-06 14:11:25 UTC https://padlet.com/hnoor4/29t2iqdtrgwtitq2/wish/1796635268 https://padlet.com/hnoor4/29t2iqdtrgwtitq2/wish/1796636156 Mendez vs. Westminster (1946) established the same precedent as Brown vs. Board, in that separate did not constitute equal. The school district stated that they were separating students based on their ability to read, write, and speak English, and that the separate school was designed to help them learn English better. However, it was found they were actually separating them based on how Spanish sounding their names were, and that the school was actually hurting their ability to speak English. As such, it was found that under California law, this constituted segregation and was not sanctioned by the law.]]> 2021-10-06 14:11:39 UTC https://padlet.com/hnoor4/29t2iqdtrgwtitq2/wish/1796636156
