"Ethnic Studies Now Banned in Arizona"
Tuesday, January 04, 2011

School board officials in Tucson are standing by their Mexican American Studies program in the face of a new law that seeks to ban all ethnic studies in public schools.

The new law, which took effect January 1, prohibits classes that “promote resentment toward a race or class of people; are designed primarily for students of a particular ethnic group; advocate ethnic solidarity instead of treatment of pupils as individuals.â€
