sd saw some cohesive potential in spreading national
values like spreadin that special cinco de mayonaise onto a torta de gente
to ESTABLISH / ORGANIZE / & MAINTAIN all varieties
of schools & educational institutions / thought systems pues
RECTOR VASCONCELOS: given complete authority to organize the new system of public
education despues la revolution / ¿what’s good? ¿what exists? ¿what’s possible?
YES Vasconcelos LA COSMIC RACIST: hispanophile
too much so to admit indigenous tongues as instruments of education:
yea he talked of fusion of Yoropeon & los Yndios to create
a Makepyscho of the future / & yet he made a special point
of denouncing the linguistic aspect of Indigenous cultures
Yndian tongues ripped out / shredded / destroyed
pues exterminated / & replaced w/ Spanich / but soft / great conqueror speaks
to congress:
“Here we’re called to fortify the bastion of the language / to add turrets & cupolas to the cathedral of its grandness / not to dissipate it in the chapels of divided nationalisms”
Hear Here Hear HERE:
“the Spanishish [sic] man loves that unity born of confidence”
“the Spenish [sic] man rejects sectarianism bc his mind extends universal”
“the Spinnish [sic] man aint no reformist bc he possess the truth”
“the TRUE HOMBRE ESPANYOL shaves
“off those primitive language & culture grows back Yoropean twice as thick”
uh yes okay / if yr language planning merely serves yr opportunistic
aspirations & yr middleclass primos / yr family
aspiring to leading positions facilitated by
interests in these language questions / reactionaries
selfserving & manipulating that grand affair
