Of course, if MAGAs had their way, teachers could never mention that the first Territorial case ever to be argued before the US Supreme Court was that of a Mexican woman contending that good ol' James Douglas stole her common law husband's mining claim for Phelps Dodge... which she won.

As it happens San Clemente Estates was once race restricted for white folks only.
Flame on, dude!
