Arizona might turn back the clock even more
Here’s the title to the story:
Arizona schools superintendent pushes ban on ethnic studies.
What? So…teaching by withholding information is the preferred methodology. This brand of racism is baffling, as evidenced by the quotes drawn in the story, e.g. “The job of the public schools is to develop the student’s identity as Americans and as strong individuals. It’s not the job of the public schools to promote ethnic chauvinism.” Right, since this whole thing isn’t chauvinistically American…
Here’s the bill itself, which was passed by the Arizona State Legislature. Yet another hole in reasoning: an exception will be made for classes for Native American pupils.
Nice afterthought.
