Latino students are doing better at Centennial High School. We need our citizens to do well in school, of that you’ll get no dispute from me. But when the Zero (our newspaper of record–HA!) rhapsodizes over the students at Centennial doing better by joining clubs, specifically MeChA, we’re supposed to be happy about that?
Notice what the MeChA acronym means Movimiento Estudiandil Chicano de Atzlan. The school claims this is a Mexican American student movement. If by student movement they mean work on behalf of Mexico to conquer part of the United States, then, yes, this is a student movement. It’s also racist in that MeChA teaches that Mexicans are a superior race. Hey, do they have any other racist organizations at Centennial?
See the video of recent speeches on the status of Aztlan:
