This blog on Texas education contains posts on accountability, testing, K-12 education, postsecondary educational attainment, dropouts, bilingual education, immigration, school finance, environmental issues, Ethnic Studies at state and national levels. It also represents my digital footprint, of life and career, as a community-engaged scholar in the College of Education at the University of Texas at Austin.
‘Latinos’ and the Election,' by Dr. Armando Ibarra
To all of this I would add that the Republican party has been doing its homework and providing support and services to the Latino community in South Texas. As I had earlier blogged, this effort is called the "Libre Initiative," that in addition to points mentioned below, also led to their vote for Donald Trump. Despite this diversity in the Latino electorate, it's not like this trend is intractable in Texas or other places. The Democratic Party needs to begin investing in Texas as never before if they want this to change.

‘Latinos’ and the Election
The term 'Latino' often obscures rather than clarifies the politics of specific ethnic or racial communities with growing class divisions.
