And I actually want to do stuff this year insted of being a silent asshole. My friend Nick wants to do the same.
So our schools celebrating Chicano History Month in September cause of some dumb shit they did this year to offend the latino student body. We want to raise awarness with what’s going…
I’m really curious - what did they do that was offensive?
To raise awareness, you might want to make posters/fliers that highlight historical figures or important events. Make sure that your description of the person/people/event is a short summary. Most students don’t have the time (or aren’t going to take the time) to read a five-paragraph essay about something that they’ve never heard of. I think the Celebrate People’s History series would provide some awesome examples.
T-shirts and buttons would also be a good promotional tool. If there’s one thing that high school kids love, it’s wearing some article of clothing that has words on it.
You’ll probably run into a lot of roadblocks with the administration, especially with the Arizona issue since it’s so “political.” After the censorship incident with LC’s newspaper, they probably view most of the student body as a pain in the ass. Chances are they heard about all the Day of Silence stuff at CPHS, too. If there’s a club at your school that deals with student diversity issues, it’s probably best to try to work with them. If other students and at least one teacher are pushing this, then you’ve got a way better chance of getting your message out successfully.
Working with a club also provides the opportunity to organize in-school events, like being able to use a school facility for an after-school movie “night” or having a speaker come in to talk to interested students.
If your school doesn’t have a club, then you’ll need some friends and good teacher to work with. It’s best to get help from a teacher who’s been working at the school for a long time in case you really start to agitate the administration. A teacher with tenure can’t be fired as easily as a teacher who’s new to the school. Unfortunately, freedom of speech and helping out students doesn’t always pay the bills.
Good luck with what you’re doing! Spread your message and have fun!

- Me: No, you don't allow me to have that.
- My mom: I'm trying to protect your privacy.
- Me: I know, because I'm stupid.
