The
American Revolution
As you watch these video's try to get a sense as to the attitudes of most people. Very few people could imagine a nation that was not ruled by a king of some kind of dictator. In the beginning the American people loved King George but as the ideas of the Enlightenment took root in the minds of the Americans we began to change our attitude. Finally we came to the conclusion that we did not need a king. In fact, the United States was the first country founded on an idea rather than some military conquest. We were the first people who believed that ordinary people could rule themselves. We did not need a king.

The Bill
of Rights - First Ten Amendments -
You have "natural rights" that you were born with. They are the right to life, liberty and property (pursuit of happiness) The purpose of the "Bill of Rights" is to put restrictions on the U.S. Government so they cannot infringe on your rights. The Founding Fathers were very suspicious of government. |

Hispanic Appreciation Month Enriching America My Story......... My name is Frank Schneemann and I am the most senior teacher in the Sweetwater District. In 1974 I was hired as a long term substitute at Southwest Middle. I like to experiment with new teaching ideas related to technology. The District Director of Spec. Ed. observed me teaching and told the Personnel Office NOT to hire me. The Hispanic teachers and administrators went to the district and insisted that I be hired. People like Maria Medrano, Oscar Mercado, and many others saved my job. I'm not sure why. In those days there were two dominant gangs at SW Middle, the Imperials and the Sydro's. I was not intimidated by the kids, I felt like I was "hanging" with the kids I grew up with. in the Philadelphia Badlands.I workd with those kids and they became like family. Open your mind and heart to the Hispanic community and you will find, as I did, that you have joined a new family who will always be there for you when you need them. |
