Why aren't Hispanics succeeding like Asians, Jews, and other immigrant groups in America? Herman Badillo's answer is as politically incorrect as the question: Hispanics simply don't put the same emphasis on education as other immigrant groups.
As the nation's first Puerto Rican-born U.S. congressman, the trailblazing Badillo once supported bilingual education and other government programs he thought would help the Hispanic community. But he came to see that the real path to prosperity, political unity, and the American mainstream is self-reliance, not big government. Now Badillo is a champion of one standard of achievement for all races and ethnicities.
In this surprising and controversial manifesto, you will learn:
Badillo's solution to this problem relies on traditional values: hard work, education, and achievement. His lessons are important not only for Hispanics but for every American.

But he came to see that the real path to prosperity, political unity, and the American mainstream is self-reliance, not big government. Now Badillo is a champion of one standard of achievement for all races and ethnicities.
In this surprising and controversial manifesto, you will learn:
- Why Hispanic culture's trouble with education, democracy, and economics stems from Mother Spain and the "five-hundred year siesta” she induced in Latin America.
- Why the Congressman who drafted the first Spanish-English bilingual education legislation now believes that bilingual education hurts students more than it helps.
- Why "social promotion” — putting minority students' self-esteem ahead of their academic performance and then admitting them to college unprepared — continues to this day, despite the system's documented failures and injustices.
- How self-identifying as "Hispanic” or "white” or "black” undermines achievement, and what lessons we can learn from Latin American countries, where one's race is irrelevant.
Badillo's solution to this problem relies on traditional values: hard work, education, and achievement. His lessons are important not only for Hispanics but for every American.
