Every day a child is exposed to law enforcement coming into the home and handcuffing their dad and taking him away. Can you imagine what is going on in the childs mind or the image they are developing of the officers? We need to make children understand that crime in our society does not only affect the person committing it but also affects the family. We need to reach out and take a moment to explain the real issues at hand and what the things that need to be in place in order to make a change are. Communication is the key. Children have a negative view about officers. The blame is placed on the police for doing their job. In reality, they wouldnt be there if a crime hadnt been committed. But at the same time, its important to see what effects it has on family members. Children need to be reassured that the father has an important role in the family by working with social service and the police department to work together to make something positive happen for all parties. Ricardo is a young child who is trying to cope with his dad being handcuffed and dragged away to jail. Ricardo doesnt understand what is going on; he sees the police officers as the bad guys. Ricardo doesnt realize that his father has broken the law and that its the polices job to capture criminals and incarcerate them. Ricardos mom explains to him why his dad was taken away. She sets the tone that if they both keep in touch with his dad and let him know how much they love him and how they could help him after he is released, his dad would be with them forever.

The Bully of Tenth Street

By: Loretta Acosta

In every school across the United States, at least one child is being bullied, or we have heard of it at least. At times, teachers, parents, or children witness bullies at their school. Usually, the students attention is called in, and the student is reprimanded. This does not stop the behavior though. As educators and parents, its important to look into what is causing childrens or students behaviors. Once we tap into the problem, we could work on changing the behavior. No one likes to be bullied, but it happens. These bullies are the ones that we would love to stomp flat as an ant. Reality sets in, and you cant do it out of fear. Fear is the evil of silence, which only gives the bully more ammunition to carry on with their bulling. Encourage students to analyze the cause of bullying, and let me come up with a solution to stop it. Empower students, and they shall deliver. Jose and Hector are best friends who fear another student named Rafael. There is not a day of the week that goes by that Rafael doesnt get into trouble. Rafael is the bully of the school and doesnt care what consequences he is given. A group of friends is tired of his bullying and wants to do something about it. They seek advice from one of their teachers, who gets them to thinking about Rafaels behavior. They find that there are underlying reasons why Rafael behaves the way he does. They make a plan to help him stop being a bully.

The Wound and the Stitch

The Wound and the Stitch

A Genealogy of the Female Body from Medieval Iberia to SoCal Chicanx Art

By: Loretta Victoria Ramirez

The Wound and the Stitch traces a history of imagery and language centered on the concept of woundedness and the stitching together of fragmented selves. Focusing particularly on California and its historical violences against Chicanx bodies, Loretta Victoria Ramirez argues that woundedness has become a ubiquitous and significant form of Chicanx self-representation, especially in late twentieth-century print media and art. Ramirez maps a genealogy of the female body from late medieval Iberian devotional sculptures to contemporary strategies of self-representation. By doing so, she shows how wounds—metaphorical, physical, historical, and linguistic—are inherited and manifested as ongoing violations of the body and othered forms of identity. Beyond simply exposing these wounds, however, Ramirez also shows us how they can be healed—or rather stitched. Drawing on Mesoamerican concepts of securing stability during lived turmoil, or nepantla, Ramirez investigates how creators such as Cherríe Moraga, Renee Tajima-Peña, Guillermo Gómez-Peña, and Amalia Mesa-Bains repurpose the concept of woundedness to advocate for redress and offer delicate, ephemeral moments of healing. Positioning woundedness as a potent method to express Chicanx realities and transform the self from one that is wounded to one that is stitched, this book emphasizes the necessity of acknowledgment and ethical restitution for colonial legacies. It will be valued by scholars and students interested in the history of rhetorics, twentieth-century Chicanx art, and Latinx studies.
