I watched “Stand and Deliver” last night (on Netflix).

It’s an inspiring mostly true story about a Hispanic High School Math Teacher in 1982 teaching troubled youths. In real life 27% of all ethnic Mexican students who passed AP math exam IN THE COUNTRY came from that one high school. In real life 100% of the school is minority and 93% of students are economically disadvantaged. Amazing story about hard work that leads to opportunity.

The movie couldn’t be made today. The things the teacher says to motivate students (jokes about student getting pregnant, tough love jokes).

Probably the most inspiring movie I’ve seen about how hard work and determination can give a person opportunity in America would be cancelled if somehow made nowadays. And the climax phrase yelled by teacher about racism in America...in 1982, is amazing (I won’t spoil it).

We are being brainwashed today.
