Media Distorts Coverage Of Arizona Ethnic Studies Ban

Arizona passed a law against chauvinistic ethnic studies programs that can balkanize and promote a politics of grievance and victimization that blames western civilization and America for all the ills in the world.

And unlike the federal government with its immigration laws, it actually enforced the law banning such ethnic studies in one school district.

For that, Arizona again got criticized by mainstream media outlets such as The New York Times.

The law, which took effect on December 31 in Arizona, states that “the legislature finds and declares that the public school pupils 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.â€
