Student Speaks Out Against HSF’s Discriminatory Policies

October 19, 2008

Association of Raza Educators Press

Below is the transcript of Xavier’s speech delivered in San Diego, CA, and at the Teachers For Social Justice Conference, San Francisco, CA.

Speech

Hello, my name is Xavier. I am currently a sophomore at Lincoln High School and it pains me to be here in place of someone who truly deserved to be speaking today but was restricted due to the nature of this issue. It is sad when an intellectual cannot speak on an issue that affects him and his community due to the fear of unjust retaliation. This great friend of mine is only one of the many students in our communities who are struggling to keep their dreams and goals a reality. Now I will read a speech written by him.

It is with great displeasure that I cannot be here in person. The issue that I must speak of today affects so many other youth like myself. Something I believe should be taken into account is the understanding of the dreams and goals we as human beings hold very close. When my family and I arrived here in the US about 16 years ago, the greatest moral value I was taught was education. My parent’s motto was always that without education I am just another unsuccessful person.  When we arrived in this country the hardest part was understanding why my family and I constantly lived in fear. The most difficult obstacle that we so called “Illegal Immigrants” have to face is hatred and rejection. Why should I feel as if I don’t belong here when the only place I call home is San Diego? Why should I live in fear when I benefit the community more than the average citizen? My biggest dream is to one day be a successful person and to one day come back to my community and create a change. Should we as youth be prohibited from furthering our education when many of us have the drive and desire that organizations like HSF (Hispanic Scholarship Fund) expect from the student. Yet, organizations such as HSF, whose mission is to increase the amount of Latino college graduates, deny those like me who equally deserve a higher education but due to the trivial requirement of having a simple document are barred from achieving a higher learning. In closing, I along with the Association of Raza Educators, Lincoln High’s MEChA, and ARSO demand that the Hispanic Scholarship fund, who say they represent the Latino community, allow undocumented students access to the 26.6 million dollars in funding you have.  How can you “HSF” deny me and other students like me our right to education when you say you are down for my people, my gente, and my raza? QUE VIVA EL ESTUDIANTE!!

A.R.E. Would like to give special thanks to Mr. Mel Collins, Ms. Ana Shapiro, Mr. Don Robinson, Mr. Minor Courtney, Ms. Amalia Salas, Mr. Ray Adair and all the teachers who attended and shared their rooms for our conference workshops.

Lincoln High School, San Diego, CA- On Saturday, April 12th, 2008 the Association of Raza Educators held its 2nd Annual ARE Conference on the Struggle for Social Justice in Education at Lincoln High School. The conference gathered 600 participants: educators, students, parents and community members from all over California and parts of Mexico, who are concerned with the oppressive conditions that students, communities and our society as a whole are facing.

The goals of the conference were:

1.  To create a network of Raza and other socially conscious educators which will be strongly committed to an education that is multicultural and relevant to the student’s social and economic needs; 
2.  To motivate educators to become involved in struggles within and outside the educational institutions; 
3.  To provide a solid understanding of what critical and revolutionary pedagogy is all about, thereby arming us with the knowledge and skills to confront the racist-fascist onslaught currently being waged upon the Raza communities and other oppressed people.

The event opened with a cultural presentation by Toltecas en Aztlán who helped set the tone of the Conference, reminding attendees that as Raza we are an Indigenous people to these lands (Southwest United States). To open the event, Juan Orozco- the San Diego ARE Chapter Coordinator- welcomed the more than 600 attendees. Then Los Angeles ARE Chapter Coordinator, Jose Lara, introduced the first keynote of the day; Vicente “Chente” Jimenez (Somos Raza youth organizer and member of Unión del Barrio, Los Angeles). He was followed by Professor Antonia Darder, from the University of Illinois, who was introduced by Mariana Ramirez, member of ARE San Diego. Both Vicente and Antonia shared their anger and frustration towards the system that has created oppressive conditions for students, families and communities, not only in the barrios and ghettos of the United States, but throughout the world.

The opening plenary was followed by two workshop sessions that addressed issues towards Social Justice in Education. Among the issues addressed were: Organizing for a Socially Just Education, Criminalization of Youth: Schools & Prisons, Resisting the Military in Schools, Parent Power and Participation in Education, Democratic Schooling, Media and Education, and Human Rights Education.

This conference- which was completely free of charge and organized by an all-volunteer organization- was a most historic event that facilitated a space for dialogue about the injustices that are taking place within the U.S. educational system.

Before listening to the last two keynote speakers, ARE awarded three, $1,000 dollar scholarships to undocumented students who have excelled in their studies, but who, because of their “immigration status,” are ineligible to receive financial aid to go to college. The scholarships were presented by ARE members, Aremi Lopez, Lola Murillo and Debby Villegas. Because ARE believes that education is a human right, and is committed to ensuring the protection of this right, ARE asked participants to contribute to the Raza Education Fund that seeks to raise 10,000 dollars to help Raza achieve a College and University education. The participants responded by contributing 3,000 dollars collectively.

The conference ended with two keynote speakers Kobina Bantushango (Chairperson of the African International Student Organization, and member of the African Peoples Socialist Party, from Florida) and Jeff Duncan Andrade (Activist Scholar, Professor at San Francisco State University) who challenged attendees to join the struggle for a truly liberating education by joining an organization.

The closing message by Eduardo Enrique Ochoa (A.R.E. member and Lincoln teacher) to the attendees was to take to the streets of San Diego and march shoulder to shoulder with students and young people for Justice, Dignity and Raza Self-Determination. The march, which was organized by Somos Raza (the youth project of Unión del Barrio) and MEChA’s from throughout San Diego, held this march to honor Emiliano Zapata and to protest the growing militarization of education, the state budget cuts to education and the ICE/Migra raids in our communities.

¡El Maestro Luchando, También esta Educando!
