Even after the 1954 ruling in Brown v. Board of Education, Mexican and Mexican-American students continued to be subjected to racial discrimination, vocational tracking, punishment for speaking Spanish in the classroom, and courses that ignored or glossed over their place in the history of the United States. In addition, there was a dearth of Mexican or Mexican-American teachers or administrators. The Chicano Movement took up these issues in the post-Brown era.
