Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compares the privileged educational experience offered to the children of relocated Nazi scientists in Texas with the educational disadvantages faced by Mexican American students living in the same city. Educating the Enemy begins with the 144 children of Nazi scientists who moved to El Paso, Texas, in 1946 as part of the military program called Operation Paperclip. These German children were bused daily from a military outpost to four El Paso public schools. Though born into a fascist enemy nation, the German children were quickly integrated into the schools and, by proxy, American society. Their rapid assimilation offered evidence that American public schools played a vital role in ensuring the victory of democracy over fascism. Jonna Perrillo not only tells this fascinating story of Cold War educational policy, but she draws an important contrast with another, much more numerous population of children in the El Paso public schools: Mexican Americans. Like everywhere else in the Southwest, Mexican American children in El Paso were segregated into “Mexican” schools, where the children received a vastly different educational experience. Not only were they penalized for speaking Spanish—the only language all but a few spoke due to segregation—they were tracked for low-wage and low-prestige careers, with limited opportunities for economic success. Educating the Enemy charts what two groups of children—one that might have been considered the enemy, the other that was treated as such—reveal about the ways political assimilation has been treated by schools as an easier, more viable project than racial or ethnic assimilation.

This book was released on 2017-10-18 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Survey of the City Schools of El Paso, Texas I transmit to you herewith a report of the brief but comprehensive survey of the City School System of El Paso, which I have made in accordance _with the invitation from your honorable body transmitted by your Superintendent of Schools. The letter of invitation was so framed as to convey to me the impression that you desired a statement of the essential vital facts concerning your school system rather than a technical analysis of the situation. I gathered that you wished this statement to be made in such simple terms as could be readily understood by the laymen. In educational affairs, rather than in the technical terms Of the profession of pedagogy. With this suggestion I have endeavored to comply. I have tried to present a report which can be used in helping to improve the schools and conditions about them rather than one which will be ad mired for the exhaustiveness of its investigations or the pedagogical learning displayed in it. I have tried to write a report which will be helpful rather than one which will be admired. It may as well be stated frankly also that the subject in hand has been approached in a sympathetic manner. It is assumed that your honorable body is not so obviously unfair as to desire a report on your school system which would include all the bad things Which might be said about it and exclude all the good things. A fair re port should include both. A school survey which degenerates into a near effort at systematic fault finding cannot claim to be impartial.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manhattan Heights Historic District can trace its beginnings to June 9, 1899, when paperwork was filed by El Paso and New York investors to begin the process of opening the Federal Copper Company. By 1912, however, the smelter was closed and demolished. Shortly thereafter, four of the five parcels of land originally owned by the smelter were purchased to build what many considered to be El Paso's first suburban neighborhood. The first house was built in 1914, with many more to follow, representing Spanish, Georgian, and Moderne architectural styling of the times. With the construction of Manhattan Heights School and Veterans Memorial Park, the small district covering 1,910 acres attracted many of El Paso's prominent citizens.
