The progress being made to alert the public at large of the realities of what is being taught with the money of the Tucson taxpayer is nothing short of astounding. The press can no longer hide from there own blatant bias. All one needs to do is listen to the Tom Horne presser linked above and then read the first article from the AZ Daily Star and bias is as clear as the day is hot. The papers can no longer get away with the liberally biased crap they have been trying to push in Tucson for years. TUSD can no longer hide the teachings of the Ethnic Studies. The Ethnic Studies programs can no longer hide what damage they are doing to the students. Listen for yourself to the product and quality of individuals the schools are pushing out of the district. Now comes the hard part, actually getting the studies stopped and cleaning out the TUSD school board of its members who have supported these programs. Come November the voters/taxpayers must remove these people and they must be replaced by those who still value what these United States stand for!

-Stop the program and the waste of your tax dollars to fund the teaching of anti-American propaganda and hate!

Guest opinion: Raza studies gives rise to racial hostility
This started with former TUSD Teacher John Ward bravely stepping forward and exposing the truth behind the Raza Chicano Studies funded inside TUSD on your Tax dollars

-The basic theme of the curriculum was that Mexican-Americans were and continue to be victims of a racist American society driven by the interests of middle and upper-class whites.

-In this narrative, whites are able to maintain their influence only if minorities are held down. Thus, social, political and economic events in America must be understood through this lens.
-This biased and sole paradigm justified teaching that our community police officers are an extension of the white power structure and that they are the strongmen used "to keep minorities in their ghettos."

-It justified teaching that the Southwestern United States was taken from Mexicans because of the insatiable greed of the Yankee who acquired his values from the corrupted ethos of Western civilization.

-It was taught that the Southwest is "Atzlan," the ancient homeland of the Aztecs, and still rightfully belongs to their descendants - to all people of indigenous Mexican heritage.

-Put a stop to the racism in TUSDs Ethnic Studies by supporting R- Rep. Russell Pearce and Senate Bill 1108. This bill seeks to ban teaching in public schools that would “denigrate American values and the teachings of Western civilization.â€

This brainwashing cannot continue. I'll go send an email.

Let them shout and shout. But this isn't right...

Go to the American Education Council.In D.C.Check out their mission statement

My son recent took the G.E.D. test. Standardized national test administered by the A.E.C. He could not believe,.and was angered at the content of the social studies section of the test.Total anti- American .One world.Pro U.N.he was clearly upset by this section.

Im just saying its not just T.U.S.D.Its the entire country.Look at the hatered spewing anti American Ultra-Liberal Professors at some of our finest Universities

Tom Horne what an excellent speaker.I wish I could say something nice about his audience.

Well anyhow my son scored extremely well on his test.But he still talks about that one particuler section,musta been preety bad!

with open boders , drug flowing . Anti-American studies . It does look like a major plot to have Marshall Law . As sect's of people feeling their entitlement to the land start to complete their mission . Same way Hitler did his deed !

Going public to expose what has been going on at TUSD and publicly calling for citizens to fight back while pledging to put an end to it and calling on the media to further expose this, was HUGE and Mr. Horne deserves to be congratulated for his courage and willingness to do his job.

He has been the best thing to ever happen to the AZ school system and this just further proves it.

It's been no secret that Tucson is headed toward being the next LA but what has been going on behind the closed doors of TUSD is outright FRIGHTENING. It is not unreasonable to compare it to how Hitler programmed youth to carry out his agenda and we've only seen the tip of the iceberg where TUSD is concerned. It is going to come out that it is much worse than we know it is right now.
