Se rechaza día festivo para honrar a César Chávez en Arlington, Tejas


En Arlington, Tejas se ha rechazado una propuesta de crear un día festivo en honor a César Chávez, con 5 votos en contra y 2 a favor. El día se iba a celebrar a finales de marzo empero el Comité de Calendarios del distrito escolar de Arlington rechazó la medida por que inferiría con los exámenes estatales que se suministran a los estudiantes por esas fechas. Sin embargo, hay personas que dicen que tal decisión fue equivocada porque podrá mandar un mensaje negativo a la comunidad hispana que forma un 38% de la población de la zona.
