Zusammenfassung:The authors consider the implications of speaking out and remaining silent in the aftermath of the 2016 U.S. presidential election. They reflect on the forms of speech available to and expected of educators and educational anthropologists in order to raise questions about whose voices are heard or ignored in the current public discourse. Drawing from their language-focused work alongside Latino immigrant communities, the authors raise questions about when and how to honor and break silences. Los autores consideran las implicaciones de hablar o guardar silencio en la secuela a la elección presidencial estadounidense del 2016. Reflexionan sobre los modos de hablar que los educadores y antropólogos educativos tienen al alcance y los que les exigen otros para preguntar sobre cuáles voces se oyen o se ignoran en el discurso público. Sacando ejemplos de su trabajo junto a comunidades latinas, plantean preguntas sobre cuándo y cómo respetar y romper el silencio.
