PHOENIX (AP) — Latino students should be a federal funding priority after they fell behind during the coronavirus pandemic despite making notable educational gains in recent decades, leaders with the largest U.S. Hispanic civil rights and advocacy group said Monday.
“There is funding there,” said Amalia Chamorro, who oversees educational policy for UnidosUS, formerly the National Council of La Raza. “We need to make sure it is directed to students with the most needs.”
An Associated Press analysis of state and U.S. data last year found the federal government had provided $190 billion in pandemic aid to schools, four times more than what the U.S. Education Department spends on K-12 schools in a typical year.
A new report on Latino student access released by UnidosUS at its current gathering in San Antonio says students of color and low-income students faced the most daunting challenges during the pandemic because of problems like a lack of internet access in their homes when classes were being taught online.

If their home countries didn’t see them as being a priority, why in the hell should Americans see them as a priority. Don’t do drugs.
La Raza. They can KMA. Racist bigots.
If they are illegal aliens, then all we owe them is a trip home to their own country.
I live in Phoenix. The Hispanics may pack 10+ per house, but they have Internet access.
The only priority right now should be removing this enemy occupation from our government otherwise we can kiss everything else goodbye.
Do white kids struggle in countries where they are in the minority?
Let the screaming match begin among the Dem constituencies who believe that they have the most needs.
They change their racist name from La Raza (THE RACE) to USUnidos and they now expect us to praise them and kiss their asses. If KKK changes their name to YYY, THEY ARE STILL THE KKK.
Canadian French is their firs language.
Funding for everything! Well except law abiding, hard working citizens. Special treatment is NOT equal treatment. Hand outs vary depending on perceived race.
Latino students should be a federal funding priority after they fell behind
Seems to me, that if anyone should be a funding priority, it should be tax payers who are taken advantage of at every single turn for this sort of boondoggle spending. Pay the tax payers back so they can spend that money and fuel the economy.
So, judge them by the color of their skin or ancestry, for punishment and/or reward? Is this some sort of progressive back to the future time warp?
There ... I fixed it.
Oh, I suppose the next thing you’re gonna say is “All Lives Matter”....you racist!
For free, or nearly so. Plus free unlimited-data cell phones - one per "family" (and no the Feds don't check if you cheat)
Sorry Hispanics, get in line behind the LGBTs and the blacks…. You’re pretty far down on the Marxist totem poll because you like beer, Jesus and are willing to work.
THE BATTLE BETWEEN WHO THE DEMS LOVE MOST..The 45 million blacks or the 60-100 million Hispanics.......
Is education something the Constitution authorizes Congress and the Federal government to have a hand in?
The usual worthless bureaucrats screaming for more taxpayer dollars. GFY.
