Stolen Education is a powerful documentary about how Mexican American students were not only segregated by race, but were required to attend three years of first grade to overcome their "language problem" in Driscoll, Texas in the 1950s. In this documentary, producer Dr. Enrique Alemán Jr. visits present day Driscoll, Texas and captures the remarkable first-hand testimonials of those children, now in their 60s, who were retained in the first grade and who testified in court.
