I HOPE YOU HAD A NICE THANKSGIVING!
Once again the racist Xenophobe enemy is resisting their inevitable sealed fate of FAIT ACCOMPLI; "The Browning of America"! Oh how they fear US Brown people! WE can hear them out already yelling bloody murder like the Chicken Little fable; "The Mexicans are coming!!! ...The Mexicans are coming!!!
Racist Americans hate Brown people whom they feel WE RAZA are encroaching on "their land" (AZTLAN), Anglo Texans especially are conveniently ignoring their own true "American History" through their own public school textbooks. When I was an elementary grade student I remember reading my "Texas History" textbooks during the late 1950s, how the EuroAmerican "settlers" founded Texas as "good white Christian pioneers bringing civilization to those uneducated Brown savages".
NOTHING has changed in white racist Texas since 1836 and after signing the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo on February 2, 1848;
Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Cover of the exchange copy of the treaty of Guadalupe HidalgoThe Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo (Tratado de Guadalupe Hidalgo in Spanish) is the peace treaty, largely dictated by the United States[1][2] to the interim government of a militarily occupied Mexico, that ended the Mexican-American War (1846–1848). From the standpoint of the United States, the treaty provided for the Mexican Cession, in which Mexico ceded 1.36 million km² (525,000 square miles; 55%[3] of its pre-war territory, not including Texas) to the United States in exchange for US$15 million (equivalent to $313 million in 2006 dollars). From the standpoint of Mexico, the treaty included Texas as Mexico had never recognized Texan independence nor its annexation by the U.S."
The treaty also ensured safety of pre-existing property rights of Mexican citizens in the transferred territories. Despite assurances to the contrary, property rights of Mexican citizens were often not honored by the United States as per modifications to and interpretations of the treaty.[4][5][6] The United States also agreed to take over $3.25 million ($68 million in 2006 dollars) in debts Mexico owed to American citizens.
If YOU readers DO NOT comprehend what this signed treaty between two former warring nations signifies, then it seems many of you out there in AZTLAN are also suffering from the "Ostrich Syndrome"!
The "Ostrich Syndrome" is a malady that afficts those, especially "brown" HI-spanics, who refuse to accept or understand their true history how WE RAZA are still a colonized people through LIES and DECEIT!
By Irving, Texas denying a Cesar Chavez school holiday is just the tip of the iceberg as the massive and rampant RACE HATRED against US Brown folks exists on a nationwide scale today!
Just like OUR Black brethren were "promised" 40 Acres and a Mule, which they NEVER got to this day as part of a REPARATIONS deal US Brown people were "promised" to respect the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo Treaty, which they NEVER did, ...even to this day.
On parallel history, OUR RAZA is still the subject of CULTURAL, PHYSICAL and EDUCATION GENOCIDE, the Irving, Texas school board is a good classical part of MANIFEST DESTINY;
...which is perpetuating by refusing to recognize a great Chicano leader like Cesar Chavez.
I want to hear your opinion.

"IF IT'S A GOOD FIGHT, ...I WANT TO BE IN IT!"
"WHEN THE POWERS THAT BE DENY US OUR HISTORY AND WHO WE ARE AS A BROWN PEOPLE, ...THOSE POWERS THAT BE ARE NOT OUR FRIENDS WHICH IS WHY WE MUST RESIST, UNITE AND ORGANIZE AGAINST THE ENEMY TIDE IF WE ARE TO LIBERATE OURSELVES!"
PLEASE PASS THIS STORY ON AS WE MULTIPLY OUR KNOWLEDGE OF ENLIGHTENMENT. ...THANK YOU.

Arlington school district rejects César Chávez holiday
09:09 AM CST on Friday, December 4, 2009
From staff and wire reportsArlington school trustees rejected a 2010-11 school calendar Thursday night that would have made the district the first in the area to honor labor leader César Chávez with a day off for staff members and students.
In objecting to the proposal, some trustees said the holiday would cost too much instruction time a week before state math tests and just after the district’s planned spring break, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported in today’s editions.
The vote was 5-2.
About 38 percent of the Arlington district’s more than 63,000 students are Hispanic. Supporters of the new holiday said honoring Chávez would have demonstrated to those students, and to non-Hispanics, that it’s possible to triumph over adversity.
Trustee Gloria Pena, the board’s lone Hispanic member, made an impassioned appeal to her colleagues to support the proposal, made by a committee of parents, teachers and students.
“This is something we need to do for our students. He is significant. He is important. César Chávez is an important individual who helped the community, not just Hispanics,” she said.
“This is important to me. It should be important to you because it’s about the students.”
But Trustees Peter Baron and Aaron Reich said that another holiday a week after spring break and a week before Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills testing would harm instruction, the district’s No. 1 priority.
Reich said he favored the district honoring Hispanic-American contributions, but he faulted others on the board for turning the issue into a “political football.”
“We are not about politics. We are about the children,” Reich said.
Chavez, founder and president of the United Farm Workers of America, led a crusade for years on behalf of largely Hispanic migrant farm workers. His birthday was March 31.
Tarrant County has observed César Chávez Day since 2001 by closing its offices.
The committee suggested a holiday on March 28, 2011, to replace the district’s “May holiday,” which replaced a Cinco de Mayo holiday two years ago.
Arlington school officials came under fire this year for not allowing President Barack Obama’s speech to schoolchildren to be viewed live. During her comments, Pena said she defended her colleagues earlier this year, and she seemed surprised that the Chávez holiday was in question.
Board President Mike O’Donnell and Trustees Jim Ash and Bowie Hogg also voted no. O’Donnell and Ash said they would like to see the district recognize its diversity of cultures, not just one specific group.
Trustee Wayne Ogle joined Pena in voting for the holiday.
Ogle said the new holiday would send a “wonderful” and “very educational statement to the community” about how far society has come.
Only two people in the audience spoke about the Chávez holiday -- one supporting it and one voicing concerns.
Steve Dixon of Arlington, who said he served in the Navy, questioned the message that trustees would be sending by adopting the holiday. Arlington has Veterans Day commemorations in schools but doesn’t give students a holiday, Dixon said.
“The fear that I have is that people like myself, veterans, will see this as possibly that we are elevating that day and not recognizing veterans for who they are,” he said.
An effort to rename a Dallas street after Chávez sparked turmoil at City Hall last year. The conflict was triggered by a nonscientific, city-sponsored survey asking residents what they would rename Industrial Boulevard.
After lengthy wrangling, the council last November renamed the street Riverfront instead. It now appears that part of Central Expressway in downtown Dallas will be renamed for Chávez.

I'm a native born Brownsville, Texan, but now reside in Los Angeles, Ca. Vietnam veteran and former print/radio journalist. It's been my personal experience how most selfcentered bigoted anglos throughout Texas and the nation are behaving with Xenophobic terror as they fear the Brown overwhelming numbers they feel is approaching them like a Tsunami tidal wave they can no longer stem it's flow, but there is NOTHING they can do to stop the Brown FAIT ACCOMLI. Like scared Chicken little they cry to the four winds; "THE MEXICANS ARE COMING! ...THE MEXICANS ARE COMING!"
The Texas Taliban strikes again. These are the same folks that didn't want to broadcast President Obama's speech to school children because he would be spreading "socialism". Sooner or later, the hillbilly element on these school boards will just vanish.
I E-Verify. Why don't you???
No habla ingles!!!
Thank you AISD for having the guts to stand for something right.Chavez did lots for farm
workers but is not a National hero. Holiday's based on race only is a little crazy Martin Luther King changed laws that effected this Country not a small special group.
This holiday would replace Cinco De Mayo, another Mexican holiday. What difference does it really make? Our kids would still just be at home, watching TV or playing video games no matter what the day is called.
Cesar Chavez Day can wait until Texas has a Mexican Governor.
I propose a Santa Anna Day, a kind of 'take your politician to school day'; a day when all elected officials state~wide must attend a Texas classroom, so all can pause to respect how Texas was created, and honor this sacred part of American history.
This coming Monday is Pearl Harbor Day. Be sure to drop by your local Hallmark store to pick up PHD greeting cards to send to all your friends and acquaintances.
