The latest bill on the desk of Arizona governor Jan Brewer would outlaw a Mexican-American studies program in the Tucson Unified School District because it "promotes ethnic solidarity". Whoa.
State Representative Steve Montenegro, Republican from Phoenix, says that the programs teach children "resentment or hatred for whites". He believes that students will become anti-American when they learn that the U.S. invaded Mexico City.
Hmmm.
The governor has until 11 May to act on the bill or it automatically becomes law.
And the beat goes on..........
I thought we would be so progressive by now? Oh well, I imagine there is still hope!
