(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.

Doing what no member of Congress, no president has ever done, closing the border, taking a tough stand against illegal immigration.
Details, details. The MSM is only interested in the simplest Democrat Party talking point it can get across. "Arizona bans ethnic studies" will be the meme.
She’s been getting the full weight of the media etc., and she comes out with this bill. A very brave woman. God bless her.
Sanity.
That looks like Columbia.
Let private schools indoctrinate future civil servants.

LaRaza credo: “For us (the race), everything; for them (anyone not of ‘the race), nothing” -
entitlement mentality on steroids
....wait till they start to see what Bill Ayers is pushing for grade schools.
No wonder the Crats want to keep the border open. They are importing communist hoardes.
Red Journalists is more like it. We should ban all these socialist studies classes and just have real marth science and English taught.
Wow... I thought Texas would be first for all this. Great job!
Good for Arizona!
We should celebrate and teach our unity.
Celebrating so called diversity is evil.
“Arizona bans ethnic studies in public schools”
This is very good. The Alinskistas (Alinskyites) are trying to fragment our society with class warfare. This puts a stop to that aspect of it in Arizona.
I am so glad to see some American women like Brewer step forward with rational, conservative ideas. Usually, all you get is some silly communist tripe. GO get ‘em Brewer, Bachman, Palin.
May God watch over, guide, and protect her in the palm of His hand. Amen.
She is leading a dangerous charge into a battle against seen and unseen forces.
This new law is right and good. Teachers should not be indoctrinating students in divisiveness, but lifting them up in a land where freedom to succeed is your choice, your desire, and your dream and your destination. Teach success in America, teach American exceptional-ism. Teach, out of many...one.
I am a retired person who enjoyed a career in advertising. When we created an advertisement, we had to be able to furnish substantiation(proof) for the claims we were making or face severe penalties from the FTC and others. If today's news practitioners were subjected to the same standards we had to meet they would probably be in jail.
AZ is the only place where politics is making sense and if this keeps up I’ll be moving there especially if crist gets in here
exactly
they banned racist crap towards anyone as racism crap was being spouted by teachers in the schools whipping up hispanics to hate Americans and saying one day this will no be America
This is not just AZ either and yet the media spin this again
I HATE THE MEDIA FOR THEIR CORRUPTED REPORTING AND LIES
