Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


-- Mexicayotl Academy in Nogales, Ariz. Who needs the three R's? At Mexicayotl, it's all about the three M's: me, me, me! The school's program is "structured and developed around the concepts of identity, culture, and language." Second mission: supporting local ethnic lobbying efforts "to right social injustices by educating the community and helping create social change." Under "greatest achievements," the school's website lists its participation in a "Peace & Dignity Run"; its visit from Rigoberta Menchu (the Marxist academic fraud from Guatemala who lied her way to a Nobel Peace Prize); and its sponsorship of the local annual Dia de los Muertos (the Mexican holiday).

-- The Dolores Huerta Preparatory High School in Pueblo, Colo. It's named after the far-Left Latina labor union activist who recently railed that "Republicans hate Latinos," praised illegal alien marchers and screeched that "We didn't cross the borders, the borders crossed us" in a hate-filled tirade before Arizona students.

-- Academia Cesar Chavez Charter School in St. Paul, Minn. Board of Directors member Louis Mendoza, an activist Chicano Studies professor, pushed the school to lobby for the federal DREAM Act (providing in-state tuition discounts to illegal alien students not available to legal non-residents). The school's website features one flag on its front page: the Mexican flag.

The White House will tell you that the National Council of The Race is a "moderate," mainstream civil rights group. But there's nothing "moderate" about The Race's advocacy of driver's licenses and in-state tuition discounts for illegal aliens. Or its opposition to strengthening security for identity documents and improving cooperation on immigration enforcement between state, local and federal enforcement immigration officials. Or its all-out war on the House GOP's border security and enforcement-first bill passed last December.

President Bush pays lip service to immigration enforcement and assimilation, while the White House sends Karl Rove to make nice with the separatist leaders of The Race and the Bush Education Department showers our tax dollars on radical Reconquista schools. It doesn't add up.

Unless, of course, you're using Aztec math.

i don't understand the difference...
what is the difference
Radical Moslem schools who teach hatred of the USA
and La Raza /Mexican Movement schools who
teach hatred of USA.
Teaching hatred creates violence.

Don't Paint Us With The Same Brush!!
I am surprised that you, Michelle, as an Asian would be so quick to paint all Latinos with the same brush. Just like white people do, you seem to think all Latinos are Mexican/Chicano. I am a New Yorker of Puerto Rican heritage. Not only does the National Council of La Raza not represent my ethnic group, but ask most Puerto Ricans in New York, and they have most likely never heard of this whacko separatist organization.

Just to set you straight, Michelle, my ancestors were not Aztecs. They were Tainos, West Africans, Spaniards and Corsicans.

Continuing to depict Latinos as a homogenous group whose members all think and act alike is idiotic on your part. Take a look at one of the newest columns which show how more Latinos are losing faith in the Democrats and sding with the Bush Administration on many issues.

Caribbean Latinos (Cubans, Puerto Ricans and Dominicans) do not shout La Raza! the way I see militant Chicanos doing so often. If anything shouting La Raza! sounds very Nazi-ish and that separatist b.s. they put out only produced more parallels between those who say la raza and those who say sieg heil.

In fact, my ethnic group (Caribbean Latinos) is very different from that of Mexicans or Chicanos or Central Americans. Our culture has more in common with other Caribbean peoples, i.e. Jamaicans, Haitians, Guyanese, etc.

The Council on La Raza does not fight for the interests of my ethnic group. Why are the feds paying for segragated schools? I thought these types of schools were banned in the 60s.

You also said that Latino activists see the U.S. Southwest is their homeland. Again you regard all Latinos to be Mexican. My ancestors came from many places, and Arizona was not one of those places. Puerto Ricans are not looking to "take back" the American Southwest and reclaim it for Mexico. Puerto Ricans couldn't care less what happens to Mexico.

I don't know what part of Asia you are from, but I'm sure you don't like it when non-Asians mistake you for an ethnic group or nationality you are not. Well, I am just as displeased with your ignorance.

Stop being stupid and say Chicanos when you refer to any moron who fights for the rights of the Aztec culture, who thinks California is their ancestral homeland, or someone who shouts La Raza or makes any mention to la raza. To your credit, I am glad you didn't refer to the Mexican flag as the Latino flag, or Dia de los Muertos as a Latino holiday.

Despite your ignorance of Latinos, I must say that this article, like everything else your write, is well-thought out and always truthful.
