Forget nostalgia for 1968 - youth activists today have real political
savvy, and they are making their governments listen

On Wednesday March 29, as Hispanics throughout the US took to the
streets to protest punitive immigration legislation, the Spanish
teacher Hilda Sotelo was called into the principal's office at Austin
high school, in El Paso. Austin is the "Home of the Fighting Panthers",
but this was one fight the principal, Angelo Pokluda, did not want his
students getting involved in. Pokluda (who did not respond to requests
for an interview) told Sotelo not to talk to her class about
immigration. When she told him she was on chapter three of Spanish for
Native Speakers, which deals with discrimination towards immigrants, he
told her to teach something else.
