Public School Teachers Sue To Reinstate La Raza Studies

Last Updated: Fri, 10/22/2010 - 3:20pm

Eliminating a radical La Raza studies program in a public school district is unconstitutional and restricts free speech, according to a group of Arizona teachers who are suing the state to reinstate the taxpayer-financed curriculum that one instructor says ignited racial hostility.

The Tucson Unified School District’s Mexican American/Raza Studies program was eliminated earlier this year when the state enacted a measure to stop funding ethnic studies curriculums that advocate the overthrow of the U.S. government. In 1998 the district created the Mexican American/Raza Studies division, renamed “Mexican-American Studiesâ€

Did they also teach them that Mexico also agreed to the sale of the land?

It was not their land but explored and claimed by the Spaniards.

The teachers who are suing to renew public funding for the district’s Chicano studies department claim in their complaint that their free speech has been impermissibly infringed by the state. Furthermore, they claim that students who take the La Raza courses score higher on standardizes tests, graduate from high school at higher rates, improve their overall grades and have better school attendance records.

I see...so being driven by hate is somehow a great motivator? All we have to do is implement la raza studies and the anchor babies and illegal invaders become model students. Who knew it would be that easy!
