Title: According to media, Arizona gov. TARGETS ethnic studies.
Post by: CCTAU on May 12, 2010, 02:26:56 PM
Maybe it's time we teach American history. If a black, hispanic, hindu, Creek, or any ethnic person does something that improves the country, then they get in the history books. But to have a special history class for every ethnicity is a little much. Especially considering it teaches hate against another race.

Six UN human rights experts released a statement earlier Tuesday saying all people have the right to learn about their own cultural and linguistic heritage, they said.

So now it is a right. I thought the public library was free. Go there to learn more, lazy ass.

The Governor should 'target' these studies.  The problem is that these "Ethnic Studies" programs do segregate the students by their ethnicity.

The Director of the Mexican-America studies program says that students perform better if they see in the curriculum people who look like them.

I'd be willing to entertain this notion the moment that this school district starts having All-White classes.

Never-the-less, racism is apparently alive and well in the Tucson Unified School District.

I rather prefer what the Governor's spokesman said:

"The governor believes ... public school students should be taught to treat and value each other as individuals and not be taught to resent or hate other races or classes of people," Senseman said.

That sounds an awful lot like racism.  Άνθρωποι είστε ρατσιστικοί.  I said it too!

Es ist eine rassistische Sache, zu sagen.

So did I.
