TUSD [Tucson Unified School District] swiftly punishes “incorrect” speech. According to Adelita Grijalva, criticizing the radical politicization of students is forbidden. Last week Mark Stegeman said Mexican American Studies reminded him of a “cult”. Last night Mark Stegeman, was purged for his politically incorrect words. Tucson Unified School District (TUSD) Governing Board President, Mark Stegeman was ousted from his seat as Board President and replaced by fellow Board Member Miguel Cuevas at last night’s Board meeting. Board member, Adelita Grijalva, called for the ouster, which passed 3-2 with Stegeman and Michael Hicks voting no.

The Mexican is becoming more obvious in his “Reconquista.” Now they are overtly replacing non-Mexican governors. Maybe the fear of replacement will activate our corrupt politicians, as nothing else will.
Yes that is the history as it actually happened, not the fairy tale that is being taught today. I am also tired of hearing how Texas was settled by Mexicans and not Americans/Texicans. Truth is the same issues were in Texas-Spain and later Mexico could not keep their settlers there supported with protection or even bare essentials in Texas any more than they could the rest of the Southwest. It was a very long way from Mexico City by freight wagon, and they encountered fierce Indian attacks trying to reach settlers. Truth is most Spanish and Mexican settlers in Texas did not stay because of the lack of support. “Americans” from U.S. were allowed and even encouraged to settle in Texas by Mexico because Mexico knew they could not possibly hold claim to land they had no settlers on. Problem was the American/Texican settlers had more in common with and more alliegence to the United States than Mexico, they wanted their independence from Mexico because Mexico was unable to supply them or protect them either- they could easily trade with the United States but that was not allowed- in theory anyway.
We didn’t STEAL anything from Mexico either- what we got we got through conquering or purchasing- same as every other culture obtained land back through history.

That explains the reconquista crap.
**** To this very day, if you want a punch in the nose, just call an Hispanic native of New Mexico a “Mexican!”****
This is true. Iwas born in NE New Mexico and my dad always said to NEVER call the spanish speaking people Mexicans. Always call them Spanish, because they were.
BTW, should have given you a courtesy ping to the replied-to post.
Tried to look up the T of L, but couldn't find much. Do you have a link?
Russia had the NW.
Didn't get to AK till over a century and a half later.
In 1604 nobody could have split up N. America in the way you say since nobody really knew the size and shape of the continent.
It is correct that Spain was still dominant in Europe, but ominous signs were building up.
