Kali (56,906 posts)
had an interesting evening yesterday
attended a high school graduation. southside of Tucson. 95% (or more) of names read were Hispanic. class of 2026 won over 12 million in scholarships, 5 students had graduated with associates degrees from Pima Community College the day before, getting their degrees BEFORE their HS diplomas. One student who had an unbelievable story won over 2 million/full ride to Princeton. She gave a barn burner of a valedictorian speech.
My favorite things were NO ****ing pledge of allegiance, NO PRAYER, and the school Mariachi band/singer did the anthem.
They are right, the schools are subversively indoctrinating the kids in pride, dei, critical thinking, academic achievement, empathy. No wonder magats so afraid of everything.

My question is what does these students being Hispanic have anything to with the graduation. You idiots are always bring up race.
I think you are afraid these kids might become something in life without being dependent on government because of skin color or race because you need to tell them how to think and live because they are too stupid to live without your wisdom.

I wonder how many of those Hispanic-named grads' families have been in the US legally for several generations, if not all the way back to 1849 when the US bought what is now the US Southwest.
I've chewed out an occasional conservative making the errant ASSumption that Hispanic family name equals illegal immigrant. VERY occasionally, as in not in the past year or two or three (= long enough ago that I do not remember when ... possibly even pre-Covid). And here Kali is making the same ASSumption ... probably without any DU-member calling out his/her ASSumption.
It amuses me that so many Proggies ASSume that Rs and other conservatives hate Hispanics. My first introduction to Mexican food was when my Dad delivered sacks of corn he had grown to a Mexican restaurant where it would be made into tortillas and other food items. I was age 5 or so at the time, and we took home some fresh tamales for dinner ... very tasty! California being California, quite a few of my school classmates were of Mexican (literally, not pejoratively) ancestry. I saw no point in asking how long their families had lived in the US, they were "just" classmates, normal. I was similarly incurious about the family histories of my black, indigenous, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Punjabi Indian classmates.
