Rosa Parks broke the law to protest unfair rules that did not allow blacks to use the same facilities (drinking fountains, seats, toilets) as whites. She did this as part of a movement for equal rights for all Americans regardless of the race, or where they came from.
Courts/Legal News – Hmong say law maligns them – sacbee.com
Local Hmong are protesting rules that the may keep them from getting a green card ( a step towards citizenship). These rules say that you are a terrorist if the government of the country you are from says you are. The Hmong were recruited by the U.S. government to fight against the Laotian government (the official government where they were) from 1961-1975. Does it seem fair that they may be prevented from becoming citizens because of this activity?
After doing our left-handed exercise, do these rules seem fair? What reaction is appropriate (fair and reasonable) to the rules?

how should the Hmong people protest is by writing a letter. The Hmong comunity should boycott and use wepon’s of war and fight.

I think the way they should protest is by wright letters.
I also like the way that they did the boycott.
I think they should protest with weapons and war.
[Reply]
They should protest by boycotting. Another is to write letters. One last one is to gather all the people that thinks it’s unfair. This is how they should protest.
[Reply]
I think the Hmong Community should not be treated as terrorists just because thy came from Laos and fought against America. The Hmong people should do a protest or at least a stand so they can get a green card. They also shouldn’t be treated like this because America is a place where people could start their new life. Hmong people could write a letter so they could have freedom like Americans. Americans and Hmong people are no different from each other.
[Reply]
The things that the HMONG should make a protest is that they should make a phone call. Or maybe they could write a letter and send it to them. Or say, “NO” when they told you to do something for them.
[Reply]
The Hmong community could sit on a bus and not get off like Rosa Parks.
[Reply]
The Hmong people should be protesting to the Americans saying this ain’t fair and stuff. They should also quit making shoes for America until Americans finally realized this isn’t fair for them
[Reply]
The Hmong community should take a stand and have the right to do what they want.If I was there back in the day the Hmong community could stand up to the white people and disagree like Rosa Parks did.They could also have a protest that they should have civil rights and write letters and gather people so the white people could give up.We should be able to write and defend ourselves to be an American
citizen.
[Reply]
The Hmong community could write to the news paper and get some people to protest with them.

The Hmong people should do a protest or at least a stand so they can get a green card to be a citizen. They also shouldn’t be treated like this because America is a place where people could start their new life and have great liberty. Hmong people could write a letter so they could have freedom like Americans. Americans and Hmong people are no different from each other.

I think that what Rosa Parks could of done that the Hmong community could of done is form a protesting group, took a stand or even stood up to the whites. I that the fact my kind was treated a certain way because of our color. We are all beautiful. Even if were purple, blue ,yellow, and maybe even pink! Oh well, god made us and were all beautiful.
[Reply]
they should boycott or protest
[Reply]
I think it is not right because why come with out a green card that was i said.
[Reply]
I think that they could riot,write a letter,and call the cops.
[Reply]
I think they should protest by getting signs and going to the capital.they should also make banners and sit.my last reason is by boycotting.
[Reply]
I think they should write to the newspaper and tell all the Hmong people to gather around then boycott.They can also go to the government and tell them that,that isn’t fair.Another thing they can do is strike.
[Reply]
One way I think that they should boycott because it might be more affective. Another way is to write a letter to the government about how they asked them to help them fight in the Vietnam, but now they are labeling them as terrorists. I would protest is to strike.
[Reply]
I think that the law is not fair because the whites are getting treated more better than all the colored people.They should protest the law by making all the colored,and white people get along and share a water fountain.Also they should stop making up those ridiculous laws and just keep it how it is.
[Reply]
they can boycott work.send letters to the government. they could protest about it
[Reply]
I think they should go on strike until they get their green cards.They should right letters to the government saying that they are not terrorists and they should get their green cards. Another thing that they can do is boycott to the Laotian government.
[Reply]
I think that we should take a stand and make the people believe that we are not terrorist.Also it wouldn’t be fair that we hmong can’t drive and become a citizen and others can.I think that we need to protest more and tell them that it is really not okay and really not fair to asians.
[Reply]
I think that it is wrong that Hmong people don’t get green cards because they helped the U.S. fight the war and after a couple years they say that the Hmongs are terrorists. If I can help I would help because it’s mean and I would protest about it. So that the Hmongs get green cards so they get to be citizens.
[Reply]
I think the law is unfair for black people because the white get so much stuff but the black people get barely any thing and that is not fair for people. And who made that rule is not nice!

they should get in a group.They should do pickets.
And they should have a march.
[Reply]
I would of protest by writing a letter to the governor.And gandering every body together and protest.And vote so they could be free.
[Reply]
They should not use violence because it will not be a good reason.
[Reply]
I will protest by making poster and send letters to the governor.
[Reply]
they shouldn’t use violence.They should only protest until they get what they want.If it doesn’t work they should stay outside if they have too.
[Reply]
They should not use violence because it will no be a god action. I think that they should not treat the Hmong like terrorist because they help the Americans help the Vietnam war. I think that we should go and make a picket line in front of the white house.
[Reply]
I think they should talk to the government.Another way is to send a letter to government.And they should boycott.
[Reply]
I think that they should call the cops. or they could protest. They could also write a letter to the governor.
[Reply]
The Hmong people aren’t being treated horribly. They should protest at the capital. They need to get treated like Americans
[Reply]
I think back then when they had slavery it wasn’t fair.I also think they should have had gather all the black people then go and tell them it’s not right like a mob.Back then they should have had the same laws like right now.
[Reply]
they should write a letter to the governor. then they could call the cop so they could come. if non don’t work they should just go and sneak here.
[Reply]
I think that they should get a lot of complements because they took our side in the war. All the Hmong people should get a better chance. Also the Hmong deserve a much,much better chance.
[Reply]
I think people should thank the HMONG for the help that they did by fighting with us. That is not fair they have to be call such a bad name. They were just helping us fight. they don’t have to call them that!
[Reply]
I think what Rosa Parks did was a smart move because she stood up for her self. The laws back then were not fair so I understand why Rosa Parks didn’t give up her seat.
[Reply]
I think what Rosa Parks did was good because she a smart choice.I also,think she did that because she wanted to change segregation.
[Reply]
I think that this was unfair to the color people because they shut chose were they shut chose were they sit in the bus. And i think they shut not get in to the restaurants from the back door.And i think that they shut chose were they want to sit in the restaurants .
[Reply]
I think they should send letters to the government. It would be better if they boycott.They should protest about that.
[Reply]
I think that long ago, there were a lot of colored people got a lot of prejudice. It wasn’t really fair that only the white people were separated from the colored.A way that they were separated was when they had to go to different schools. Another way was that the colored people didn’t have equal rights.
[Reply]
I think for Rosa Parks its unfair because the white always care about themself and not about blacks.The law is not fair because color and white should share public water fountain.Also I think that its not nice to treat people the way you want to treat them because that is just not right for a law.
[Reply]
I think in the movie Rose Park is treated very bad. And the African waterfountain is a little dirty then american waterfountain.
[Reply]
they should boycott the government!And fright for their wrights!And riot the government!!!!!!!!
[Reply]
I think they should send a letter to the governor. To protest by doing poster and walk around in a circle. They should have green cards.
[Reply]
i am shy i like playing lots of things and doing all kinds of stuff .and that is me bye bye now.
[Reply]
they should boycott in frontof the goverment.
[Reply]
They should boycott in front of the government. and take a stand for there writes . and protest the white house .
[Reply]
it is unfair how the wights treated the colored. They had to sit in the back of the bus. How they had to drink from different fountains.
[Reply]
They should have let her be. they should of got rid those laws.
[Reply]
I think they should write it on the newspapers so some people could help them protest.Also I think they should go on strike to be American citizens.Its not fair because we all are human and we all are made by god.
[Reply]
What they could do is do a protest or have a boycott.They should have that because they could have a peaceful taking a stand.That is why this is the things i think they should have.
[Reply]
i think they should just think it over and write a letter.the Hmong should picket at them and march to the white house.Next they should gather a group and make a picket line and march around downtown.
[Reply]
I think they should write it on the newspapers so everybody from all over the U.S. can help them protest. They should just go on a strike. It’s really unfair for them to be considered as a terrorists.
[Reply]
What I think they should do is they should talk t to the president. They could go to war with weapons they also could write a long letter. They could protest until they get what they want or they should protest until the get the rights. The should get together a group and come up with a good plan of writing a letter to the government and the president. This is what I think the should do.

[Reply]
I don’t think the Hmong should be labeled as terrorist.The Hmong shouldn’t be judged so quickly.The Hmong should try to convince them there not terrorist.
[Reply]
Well about Rosa Parks she is one of the heroes to change the way the U.S treated the blacks. She changed the U.S. of how to get along with the blacks. Rosa Parks did a lot of things to change the world. For example, she stood up for herself in the bus. She did a good job like all the other black heroes. Rosa Parks is still remember till this day for being a black hero in the U.S.
[Reply]
The Hmong community should take a stand and have the right to do what they want. Americans and Hmong people are no different from each other. They should also go to the government and tell them that, that isn’t fair to the hmong people.
[Reply]
i think that they should have rights to have freedom.They are welcome to america for every reason.
[Reply]
I think the Hmong people should stop making shoe for people.Because they don’t get any thank you.They should protest untill they get more money.Or they should protest so they have more time for themself.That why they should protest.
[Reply]
What they need to do is protest until they get the civil rights or they can protest they get what they need. They can also write a letter to the government and the president to get a green card. My last idea is that they can go to war with weapons they should also boycott.
[Reply]
I think the Hmong should write and send it to the government. They can make signs. I think that they should tell the government the laws are unfair.
[Reply]
I think that the Hmong could and can come over here cause Hmong and Americans fought in the Vietnam war together the only reason the Hmong lost there land is that the Americans ran away.So to this day Hmong has no land they have to live all over the place but they choose to come to the United states is that to get away from war and get freedom but now the Americans won’t let the Hmong come that makes me mad you even know that lots of Hmong people died of that war that is just wrong Hmong people is not even bad the Americans that won’t let the Hmong people are just mean and cruel.
[Reply]
I think that Hmong people shouldn’t be treated as terrorists because they deserve there rights to do what they want.Hmong people should protest on people who are hating on there culture.Hmong people should have the right to come to America because there just like us.
[Reply]
The Hmong community could sit on a bus like Rosa Parks & not get off. They should take a stand for their rights. They shouldn’t be considered as a terrorists.
[Reply]
The Hmong has to protest they should be on strike. They should go talk to the main owner and discuss this the problem that the cant be citizens. They should also go on the picket line to do for there rights.
[Reply]
I think the Hmong people should get each a green card because they help the America Govermend. The Hmong should take a stand for write a letter or a speech to the govermend .The Hmong can do like M.L.K.Jr for the right.

What they could do is do a protest or have a boycott.I think Rosa Park is a good person to make people nice.Both of them trying to help people stay together.
[Reply]
THE HMONG SHOULD REFUSE TO FOLLOW THE LAW. THE POINT OF PROTESTING IS TO LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT THE LAWS ARE BAD OR UNFAIR. THE HMONG SHOULD MAKE SIGNS AND THEY SAY STUFF.
[Reply]
Hmong should refuse to work . They should also make pickit signs to protest bad and unfair laws. The hmogns should also protest the capital like the Mexicas did.
[Reply]
The Hmong should make posters.They should march with other people. They should talk to the government.
