San Diego Unified has already raised the Black Lives Matter flag, rainbow pride flag and transgender pride flag
About 150 students, staff and community members attended the flag-raising event, which included performances from Hoover High School’s mariachi band and sometimes-emotional speeches from more than 20 students from elementary to high school grades.
“It is the excitement felt when we get to go home and say we learned about Aztecs in our history classes. It is the fascination I developed at age 7 with Frida Kahlo, reading every biography in my elementary’s library because with every turn of the page, I felt immense pride,” said Zoë Garcia, a senior at Madison High School.
Latino students have long been the largest racial group in San Diego Unified, representing 45 percent of the district’s enrollment. But on par with national trends, they face disproportionately worse education outcomes than their White and Asian peers and are more likely to come from low socioeconomic backgrounds.
Dylan Castillo, a seventh-grader at Golden Hill K-8, explained how his mom had to quit school in third grade in Mexico because her parents couldn’t afford an education for her, and how even though his dad did manage to get a college education in Mexico, it didn’t count here in the U.S., so he had to start all over upon coming here and work hard to feed his children.
