Legislators take aim anew at ethnic-studies programs

State senators approved legislation aimed at the curbing the ethnic-studies program in Tucson Unified School District.

HB 2281 would make it illegal for a school district to have any courses or classes that promote the overthrow of the U.S. government, are designed primarily for students of a particular ethnic group or advocate ethnic solidarity "instead of the treatment of pupils as individuals."

It also would ban classes that "promote resentment toward a race or class of people."

Arizona is taking on some issues that everyone else is to PC to address.

No one wants to talk about how Chicano studies actually does more to divide races than to help us overcome racism.

Consider this article about AZTLAN
Or how about La Raza... The RaceThe Race

Once again, Arizona is doing something. I wonder what will become of this bill.
