<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; One hundred and fifty years ago, on April 12, 1861, the first shots of the Civil War were fired. A century and a half later, the issue of race still haunts us.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Back then, most everyone understood that America’s bloodiest war — more than 623,000 dead — had its roots in race. But race is not a subject Americans like to think about anymore. At every turn, prominent voices try to pretend that since we’ve achieved a colorblind society, we can forget all that old unpleasantness.</p>

<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Reversing a decades-long trend, the percentage of Latino children attending preschool across the U.S. declined between 2005 and 2009, with possible far-reaching consequences for California.</p>

    Paso uno: alguien inventa que los inmigrantes indocumentados son las personas más peligrosas del planeta. Paso dos: Alguien inventa una ley para “deshacerse” de ellos hostigándolos hasta que se aburran. Paso tres: La Corte dice que es una idea estúpida. Paso cuatro: La ley repite la estupidez de la idea.

   Every spring, schools across the United States offer students an opportunity that can drastically influence their path in life. I’m talking about enrollment in AP® courses. When I took my first class in Spanish, I thought, “Why aren’t all my classes like this?” Sadly, not enough students are exposed to these high-quality classes.
