Abstract
On the first day of school, second grader Eduardo's Anglo classmates call him a "dirty Spic" on the playground and won't let him play basketball with them. At a middle school, in a mixed-race classroom, Juanita's teacher, Mr. Smith, yells at her when she does not turn her homework in on time. He tells her she is lazy and irresponsible.
