MAKING THEM MORE “CARDLIKE”
As this Administration began, among the garbage dump of authoritarian executive orders were those subjecting children to ICE interrogation. Word came down here in the Free State of Florida that schools were to concede to allowing ICE agents to interrogate minors without a parent, lawyer, or any adult in the room there to secure the child’s rights. Furthermore, teachers were not to teach children about their constitutional rights in class…even the much-lauded Civics Classes.
Toward that end, I created a short script designed to help children assert their rights in the event they find themselves facing an ICE agent on their own. I then reproduced these scripts in Spanish, Haitian Creole, and Brazilian Portuguese. Since then, these scripts have been picked up by activist groups all over the country. One of the local groups using these scripts asked if I could redesign them to be fit on a card that could more easily be passed out at events.
Here are the more “cardlike” versions for those who are interested. Please be aware that I am not a professional translator. I’m just using Google Translate. If I have anything wrong, please contact me so I can make corrections.
