Spoilers ahead

Miss Ruiz, a dedicated history teacher and guidance counselor, strives to connect with her high school gym class, primarily composed of Latino students. She passionately hopes to inspire them, as very few Latino youths in the Los Angeles school system pursue higher education, which poses a significant challenge for improving their life circumstances. Unfortunately, during one of her classes, a student named Jordin makes it abundantly clear that he is disinterested in her teachings, even going so far as to utter a word that would be deemed unacceptable on broadcast television. In response, Miss Ruiz is left with no choice but to send him out of the classroom, highlighting the uphill battle she faces.
