- From "We Want to do More Than Survive, Ch7:"School Officials often feel the need to control black bodies… and schools can never be well under those circumstances" (Love, pg. 160).Black people have the burden of historical trauma and their own personal trauma"Always worried about the future" (Living in Survival Mode) Love, pg. 154From Paris "Culturally Sustaining Pedagogy":“Without such resistances students will continue the age-old American saga of being asked to lose their heritage and community ways with language, literacy, and culture in order to achieve in U.S. schools. And this saga of linguistic and cultural loss has had and continues to have devastating effects for the access and achievement of students and communities of color in U.S. public schools" (Paris, pg 96).

- From the film:An active student government stands up for their rights, fighting against a 2.5 million dollar school police budget while important programs are being cut. Following a large rally of over 15,000 people, student government organized march to the mayors house and ultimately gets justice.
- Conclusion: The lives of these students illustrate the broader narrative of cultural resistance in education. Paris emphasizes the dangers of erasing students’ heritage and cultural practices for conformity within U.S. schools. The activism shown in "Homeroom" signifies a reclaiming of cultural identity and a refusal to accept the status quo that marginalizes students of color—pointing to the necessity of integrating culturally relevant pedagogy. This pedagogical framework, as highlighted in the Paris article, is essential for acknowledging and utilizing the cultural and linguistic practices of marginalized communities, ultimately fostering a more equitable learning environment.
