Demon Queen, Gov. Jan Brewer just keeps the race hate going in Arizona.
She just signed a bill targeting a school district's ethnic studies program. This bill is supposed to
stop any class from promoting the overthrow of the our government, resentment toward a race or class of people, or anything focusing on students from a particular racial group.
Here's more: State schools chief Tom Horne, who has pushed the measure for years, said a Tucson school district program promotes "ethnic chauvinism" and racial resentment toward whites while segregating students by race.
"It's just like the old South, and it's long past time that we prohibited it," Horne said.
The measure prohibits classes that advocate ethnic solidarity, that are designed primarily for students of a particular race or that promote resentment toward a certain ethnic group. It also prohibits classes that promote the overthrow of the U.S. government.
The Tucson Unified School District program offers specialized courses in African-American, Mexican-American and Native-American studies that focus on history and literature and include information about the influence of a particular ethnic group.
For example, in the Mexican-American Studies program, an American history course explores the role of Hispanics in the Vietnam War, and a literature course emphasizes Latino authors.
Horne said he believes the Mexican-American studies program teaches Latino students that they are oppressed by white people. Public schools should not be encouraging students to resent a particular race, he said.
So you can't talk about the truth about America, just the fantasy version. Gotta love the foolishness of Arizona.
