Tuscon, AZ Mexican American studies program threatened

12/29/2011

EdWeek: An Arizona administrative law judge ruled that the Tuscon Mexican American studies program was in violation of a recent Arizona law that "bans classes primarily designed for a particular ethnic group or that 'promote resentment toward a race or class of people.'” While the ruling is a recommendation only, it is in line with the new Tuscon superintendent's views, who will likely take action against the program because "by framing historical events in racial terms, the teachers promote groupthink and victimhood." Or, just maybe, "the classes push Latino students to excel and teach a long-neglected slice of America’s cultural heritage: Chicano perspectives on literature, history and social justice."
