#HuelgaSchool
When desegregation happened, white students were bussed to black schools and vice versa. Here's a story about Anglo-American white kids who were being bussed to Pinkston high-school in Dallas.
When Mexican kids started to be bussed to black schools as white - they broke out in protest, boycotted integration, and put their kids in homeschools (so -called "freedom schools").

The Huelga School story alleged that only Mexicans were being bussed to black schools, and not Anglos. They claim Mexicans were being specifically targeted for integration with blacks. That was never true. Anglos were bussed to black schools as well.
