These programs targeted “disadvantaged schools”. Basically, they were schools in rural areas and the inner city. The schools had large populations of low income, first generation and underrepresented minorities (codeword for black, Chicana/o and Latina/o and Native American). I volunteered for a student-initiated program begun in the spring of 1998 (we didn’t get paid, unlike EAOP which Oso worked for). We served one school and no more than 20 students.

Cindy, I have an idea. I think we should gather El Oso and his friends, Moreno, Abogado, Revaz, Raman, Bobo. We will line them up against a wall and then we can go back and forth each picking one for “our team”. And then we can take them home and have them whisper sexy things to us like “critical race theory”. I call first picks.
