Civil Rights Mean Equal Rights

— Coral Aviles
In 2010 a 13-year-old student named Coral Aviles wore a Mexico soccer jersey to school. She wanted to support the country in the World Cup, an international soccer competition. Coral said that a teacher asked her if she was Mexican. When Coral said yes, the teacher asked why Coral was in the United States — in front of the entire class.
The middle-school student talked to her principal about what happened. The principal removed Coral from the class for the rest of the school year.
Coral believes she was discriminated against because of her race. With the help of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund (MALDEF), Coral and her mother filed a federal lawsuit against the school district. Their lawyers plan to prove that the school and the teacher violated Coral’s civil rights.
