From the supplier: Latino youth are believed to be criminalized by schools which depict them as particularly predisposed to crime and violence. For instance, the Coolidge Middle School practiced a great level of discrimination by stating that all Latino students are criminals, gang members and are generally trouble makers in the classroom. The school also exhibits favoritism over Asians and readily gives Latinos failing grades even when they deserve higher. That is why most Latino students are forced to join a gang and leave school.
