DEDICATION to Lilia Isabel Bartolomé whose humanity, compassion, and resilience to withstand, at a very early age, the blows of racism against her psyche and her brown Mexican body radicalized her resistance while emboldening her courage to denounce the a priori institutional trumpism in the form of systemic racism now normalized by President Trump, aided and abetted by the sanguinary white supremacy etched in the ethos of its institutions, including educational institutions, that varnish their racism through a politically correct language of diversity and humanism only to be hollowed-out by their othering of those whom they typecast as less human so that they can be silenced, subjugated, and dehumanized. Lilia Isabel never buckled under the infliction of disparate treatment for the “crime” of being born Mexican and brown nor allowed her human dignity to be trampled by the weight of careerism, greed, and cynicism as she steadily, and with conviction, promoted her always humane pedagogy by co-learning, motivating, and inspiring thousands of teachers, particularly language teachers, to create pedagogical spaces that enable subjugated and submerged voices to emerge in a cacophony of languages that decry the cries of brown Latinx children being cruelly yanked from their parents and jailed in chain-link cages at the border so as to protect the old, beaten, empty slogan of American family values.
