Show The Daily Utah Chronicle - Page Three Tuesday. October 22. 1991 UCLR from page one with one focused voice. UCLR plans to focus on three issues affecting the La Raza community: Improving educational opportunities; developing effective political advocacy; and analysis of, and solutions to, economic and poverty conditions. UCLR will act as an advocate to promote improvement in education for La Raza community children. Many La Raza children are placed in special education, or programs for the learning disabled while in public school because they do not come from families with strong English speaking backgrounds. Many times this can hurt the child's education rather than help. "There are a large number of Hispanic students, or La Raza students, who are put in special education just because they can't speak proper English.. .There are a number of individuals that we know that went through this that are in college now and doing just fine. But yet, in elementary and middle school they are placed in Special Ed. because they had a Hispanic surname.. .They're not under par, in some cases they are actually above average," said Estrada. According to a La Raza Position Paper on Political Perspective, the La Raza community is the largest minority population in Utah. It is faced with many issues that need to be addressed in the political arena, but unfortunately, there is a failure of the major political parties in Utah to recruit and develop leadership from within the Hispanic communities.
