Arizona limits ethnic studies in public schools

(CNN) -- Fresh on the heels of a new immigration law that has led to calls to boycott her state, Arizona's governor has signed a bill banning ethnic studies classes that "promote resentment" of other racial groups.

Gov. Jan Brewer approved the measure without public statement Tuesday, according to state legislative records. The new law forbids elementary or secondary schools to teach classes that are "designed primarily for pupils of a particular ethnic group" and advocate "the overthrow of the United States government" or "resentment toward a race or class of people."

The bill was pushed by state school Superintendent Tom Horne, who has spent two years trying to get Tucson schools to drop a Mexican-American studies program he said teaches Latino students they are an oppressed minority. There was no immediate response from the Tucson Unified School District, the law's main target.

I agree that white liberals are teaching this crap, but it’s also black victimizers like Sharpton and Jackson and others who work tirelessly to keep the black/white divide in place. They don’t teach that anyone should be ashamed of their color, but they do inspire a chip on the shoulder kind of militant attitude and a separatism that keeps race at the forefront of their efforts. Then we have La Raza, which literally means “the race”, doing the same thing to Hispanics. Apparently it’s only racism if the racists are white.

My Hat is off to you, and I know your efforts will payoff handsomely in the future.
Yeah, we always saw each other as children of God, recognizing that Christ died on the Cross for the salvation of each and everyone of us.
Public schools == Commie schools, where division and conflict keeps the administration in charge and on a trajectory to enact every more draconian policies to impose and guarantee ‘equality’.
