The children education in Manzanar internment camp that was set up after the world war 11 has been a major discussion in the world. The world war 11 was a result of Pearl Harbor. Pearl Harbor was an attack that took place on the morning of December 7 in the year 1941 by the Imperial Japanese Navy air service against the US Navy base at Pearl Harbor. The attack fundamentally transformed the lives of 120000 children, women, and men of Japanese who since birth lived in the United States. In 1942, Franklin D Roosevelt the president by then issued an executive order number 9066 commanding the war secretary to establish military regions and to take away from those regions anyone who might make a threat to the effort of the war. Without due process, the United States government gave Japanese ancestry staying in the state some few days to decide what to do with their houses and other properties as they were to be moved. Most of the Japanese Americans sold their properties at a loss and had no idea of where they were being moved. They were later relocated under military guard to some camps, and one of the renowned camps was the Manzanar camp found in California. Most of the Japanese Americans who were interned at the Manzanar camp had lived in Los Angeles and other conducive areas, and consequently, they found it hard to adjust to the harsh living conditions of the camp. After a while, amenities such as schools were set up to provide children of the Japanese Americans with education.

The children education in the Manzanar camp was ineffective because it lacked learning necessities such as furniture and textbooks in its schools. Children did have chairs to sit in, and therefore they studied their lessons on the cold floor and one book was shared among many children. There were no tables or blackboards for a teacher to carry out proper lessons. The schools lacked a heating system yet the classes of the schools in the camp could sometimes be too cold especially during the winter seasons for the children to even be able to learn. The teachers of those schools hoped that the schools in the camp could be acknowledged as part of the California public system, which would make it possible for the schools to receive funding and be able to buy the necessities. However, Earn Warren the state attorney general felt differently, and he even ruled out the possibility of the financial assistance claiming the internment camps fell under the federal law jurisdiction. The schools, therefore, could not receive any form of assistance even though the teachers consistently looked for ways...
