One of Bill Ayers courses at the University of Illinois includes Pedagogy of the Oppressed as required reading. Author Paulo Freire, a Brazilian Marxist, declared:
This, then, is the great humanistic and historical task of the oppressed: to liberate themselves and their oppressors as well.
It turns out that the Freire book is required reading in Raza Studies or Mexican-American courses in the high schools in Tucson, Arizona, where students have been protesting Arizonas new immigration law. Other required books are Occupied America by Rodolfo Acuña, a professor emeritus of Chicano studies at California State University in Northridge (CSUN), and Prison Notebooks by Antonio Gramsci, the Italian Communist.
Occupied America, the fifth edition, includes an image of Fidel Castro on the front cover, and Castro and Che Guevara on the back cover. It refers to white people as gringos and actually includes a quotation on page 323 from Jose Angel Gutierrez of the Mexican American Youth Organization (MAYO), who was angry over the cancellation of a government program. He declared:
We are fed up. We are going to move to do away with the injustice to the Chicano and if the gringo doesnt get out of our way, we will stampede over him.

Gee if they took the southwest back they would just have to walk much farther north to illegally cross into the USofA.
The Illegal Alien Agenda has found its way into some Arizona public schools.
It’s sickening and you can see the little Marxists angrily walking around (luckily not so much in my part of town). But I think they’re going to have to take it out of the curriculum soon:

“Arizona bill targeting ethnic studies signed into law”
“Gov. Jan Brewer signs the bill that bans schools from teaching classes designed for students of a particular ethnic group. School districts may appeal the law, which becomes effective Dec. 31.”
May 12, 2010|By Nicole Santa Cruz, Los Angeles Times
“A bill that aims to ban ethnic studies in Arizona schools was signed into law Tuesday by Gov. Jan Brewer, cheering critics who called such classes divisive and alarming others who said it’s yet another law targeting Latinos in the state.”
“The move comes less than 20 days after Brewer signed a controversial immigration bill that has caused widespread protests against the state. The governor’s press office did not return requests for comment Tuesday evening.”
As Marcus Fexix would say, “Bring it!”
[if the gringo doesnt get out of our way, we will stampede over him.]
A sewer system is:
A: A technological achievement manifested via communicating individuals who are standing upon others shoulders.
OR:
B: The Tijuana River / Pacific Ocean.
If you can flush a toilet, thank the ‘gringo’s who built the infrastructure that makes it possible.

Thanks Liz. “Reconquista” is what this is all about.
If white anglos preached this kind of racism....the liberal media would be calling them racist. Its time to refer to Hispano-Racist groups as such
You’re right. A very good example of how destructive Political Correctness is and how the enemies of America use it to destroy us.
Oh, now that’s just rich. LOL
They won’t challenge this law in court, because they would have to admit into evidence what these anti-American, racist members of the teacher’s unions have been allowed to teach in Tuscon. They speak of Reconquista, but decide they don’t want to face heavily armed and determined US Army vets like myself on the border. So they try to use the courts to disarm me and mine and call us ‘racist’ in order to make it easier for them to take over.
Their problem is I trust today’s judges in the ‘legal’ system about as far as I could throw the court building.
I won’t go quietly. Nor peaceably. And they are begining to realize there are many like me.
Excellent!!
It bothers me to no end that this is not taught in the history classes instead of the crap that we stole the southwest from mexico. But we have no one to blame but ourselves - we’ve let the pushers of multicult take over our schools.
We really have to be careful because we may be making the same error mexico made when they lost those territories to us. I believe that you only own that which you are willing and able to defend. So far our willingness is rather suspect. They will not need to take over with arms. A couple more decades and demographics will do the job.
Let's get one thing straight you folks who think you can stampede over us:
If you keep this in mind, we'll all be just fine.
Keep your powder dry.
I’m not sure how cannibalism connects the Aztecs to the Southwest, but it happened. I think for the same reasons it happened on Easter Island at the end of their ecological and then social collapse. Once a population can’t survive off the fruit of the land, only one source of food is left.
I wonder if anybody has ever polled Collie-fornia Hispanics, legal or otherwise, to see how many of them really would like to see CA “returned” to Mexico?
On Apr. 25, 1846, Mexican troops crossed the Rio Grande and ambushed a small group of American solders under the command of Capt. Seth B. Thornton. President Polk didnt find out about the attack until Saturday May 9th when he received a report from General Taylor. On Monday, May 11, President Polk sent word to Congress that we were attacked on our own soil and asking for a declaration of war. On Wednesday, May 13 Congress voted to respond to the unprovoked attack and declare war on Mexico. When the vote was taken neither Congress nor President Polk knew that Mexico had attacked the U.S. two more times as well, at Palo Alto (May 8) and Resaca de la Palma (May 9).
On September 14, 1874 Mexico City and the country fell to U.S. forces. The battle for Mexico City is commemorated by the U.S. Marines in their Marine Hymn and in the Blood Stripe on the trousers of the Marine dress uniform. Unfortunately, V-M Day (Victory in Mexico) isnt celebrated as a holiday. Neither are V-E Day and V-J Day celebrated in our politically correct world.
President Polk bought land from Mexico rather than taking it as spoils of the war we won. He also withdrew from Mexico after chastising them for their unprovoked attacks on our nation. That was a mistake. From time to time weve had to again fight off Mexican attacks such as in 1915 and 1916.
He should have colonized Mexico and cleaned up the corrupt government rather than leaving it to fester and leaving a hostile cesspool of a country on our border.
I don’t think we could have colonized and reformed Mexico any more than we can reform Afghanistan today.
I disagree. Afghanistan has never been colonized. It’s too tribal and lacks the natural resources that would make colonization profitable. Mexico on the other hand has been colonized by just about everybody who ever passed through. The country has the natural resources to make it profitable to station an occupation force there and the people have a surf mentality. The current government is little more than colonization by the ruling class yet there is no serious freedom movement by the subjugated population.
Santa Anna was a dictator who Polk could have replaced with an American military ruler when we beat the snot out of them in 1847. Had he done that it would have improved the living standard of most of the population.
