Arizona Legislature Bans Ethnic Studies-Wants to Remove Teachers from Classes Who have Accents

Just so folks know this new law to ban ethnic studies was first proposed by the same white supremacist/ Neo-nazi Russell Pearse who co-wrote the immigration bill. It was SB 1108. If folks have not realized it, what we see is all out war, supported by out and out ignorance. The banning of ethnic studies in Arizona is no different than the Texas text book saga where they are removing ethnic heroes like Thurgood Marshall and Cesar Chavez. Some people feel like what is going on in Arizona won't impact them, when in fact it will sooner or later... Right now they are firing teachers in Texas who teach outside the lessons and try to slip in the extra history. In Arizona they are removing teachers who speak with an accent. This is happening in 2010. Hope folks stay abreast and keep pushing back...
