After making national headlines for a new law on illegal immigrants, the Arizona Legislature passed a bill Thursday that would ban ethnic studies programs in the state that critics say currently advocate separatism and racial preferences.
The bill, which passed 32-26 in the state House, had been approved by the Senate a day earlier. It now goes to Gov. Jan Brewer for her signature.
The new bill would make it illegal for a school district to teach any courses that promote the overthrow of the U.S. government, promote resentment of a particular race or class of people, are designed primarily for students of a particular ethnic group or "advocate ethnic solidarity instead of the treatment of pupils as individuals."

What is wrong with those rules?
While they’re at it, they should just keep going and pass a bill to retire Juan McCain.
Nothing. It’s a direct response to MEChA, La Raza and their ill concealed hate-America agenda in the schools.
What’s really sad is that this bill is even needed.
That would eliminate Womyn's Studies, wouldnt it?
Whoa! Arizona is on a roll. :)
Now retire McAmnesty, Arizona.
I was looking at a profile for someone on FB and their degree was a PhD in Women’s Studies and I got to thinking...what on EARTH is that?? Are there PhDs in Men’s Studies? That’s just crazy....
Call the govenor, give her thanks, and keep urging her in the right direction.

I had a Phd. in womens studies in college, than I got married and stop Phding ;-)
LOL it took me a moment, I was going to ask you in all seriousness what classes you took! Then I realized what you meant! Silly you! In fact, silly me!
This particular person is a college professor. Figures. More and more I think college is at best a waste of time, and at worst an indoctrination from which many kids will never recover.
Arizona’s new motto should be.....”Arizona-the state with a pair”
I’m a refugee from the University of Hawaii WS program, and now I proudly have my MRS degree from my college sweetheart.
I am so proud of my state legislators....
And yes it IS sad that this is needed. As a longtime AZ resident I could tell you many stories....
We LOVE all LEGAL immigrants - don’t buy into the “racist” hype that the agitators are selling.
Wish we could get the colleges to drop “Ethnic and Women Study” Degrees. Seriously, what would you do with one of these degrees?
Arizona, you rock!
“Seriously, what would you do with one of these degrees?”
Teach Ethnic and Womyns Studies.
And with the leftist howling, with a few idiot republicans thrown in, over the law passed allowing police to find out if suspects in unlawful event are here legally......my gosh....NO WONDER we never got around to amnesty issues or border issues or any of it...leftists would be the first to complain if our world were to turn into what they consider nirvana.
It about time, it seem like Arizona state legislature and their governor have more gut.
