But she and her brothers were turned away and told they had to attend the Mexican school instead. Sylvia could not understand why—she was an American citizen who spoke perfect English. Why were the children of Mexican families forced to attend a separate school? Unable to get a satisfactory answer from the school board, the Mendez family decided to take matters into their own hands and organize a lawsuit. In the end, the Mendez family’s efforts helped bring an end to segregated schooling in California in 1947, seven years before the landmark Supreme Court ruling in Brown v. Board of Education ended segregation in schools across America.

But she is afraid she will be made fun of and looked at strangely because it's "weird" to like them. One day she wakes up with stripes all over her. The doctor came by to check her out, but after the checkup, he concluded that she was perfectly healthy and should go to school. So she went to school and nearly everyone made fun of her. When she came home, she started getting all sorts of new things growing on her but she rapidly began turning into other things and eventually became her bedroom wall. Finally, an old lady fed her lima beans and she turned into her original self.
The moral of this story is that even though people may judge you, don't change yourself. You will be unhappy, and uncomfortable by trying to fit into the  cookie cutter mold that society has created.
