oh hell yes... I wish they’d do the same here at Texas A&M, but we’re trying to be more progressive and have added f’ing “gender and sexuality” courses of study so we can be “sophisticated” like that cr#p hole in Austin.

Sad how far our education system has sunk. Liberals are idiots.

This is the way to do it! You keep the opposition back on their heels by hitting them over and over. They can’t keep up with every issue they’re outraged over.

The RATS do it all the time. I’ve always wondered whey the GOP couldn’t figure this out.

Maybe because the GOP really isn’t much different than the Dems. At least Brewer seems to be able to think on her own. She and Sarah and Michelle should team up!

That’s probably true. At least the AZ GOP seems to have figured it out, at least for now.

Does this mean the campuses can eliminate the La Raza and MetCHA groups who foster hate and racial discrimination?

I don’t think this particular law addresses that. But there’s no reason why they can’t pass another law to do so.

True, but his Playboy interview with George Lincoln Rockwell was amazing.

Much of Haley’s journalistic writing was very good. “Roots” was mythological, however.

Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann, Jan Brewer, Liz Cheney...

I'm about ready to hand over control of the Republican party to the ladies...they seem to be willing to stick by conservative principles against the onslaught of manufactured media outrage better than some of the "men".

I'm going to vote for Perry because I'm not stupid enough to believe that somehow having White as governor would teach Republicans a lesson about RINO's, but I would have preferred he offer more support and less criticism for Brewer and what she is trying to do in Arizona.

I don’t know about that “promotes the overthrow of the US government” part. That pretty much rules out teaching why the first half of the Bill of Rights is there and what the founders intended them for.

I haven’t read the text of this bill, but it sounds like the right thing to do (assuming the bill affects only public schools).

At this point, I’m ready to move to Arizona. ;-)

The new bill would make it illegal for a school district to teach any courses that promote the overthrow of the U.S. government, promote resentment of a particular race or class of people, are designed primarily for students of a particular ethnic group or "advocate ethnic solidarity instead of the treatment of pupils as individuals."

Good news coming out of the public school sector for a change.

AZ is looking like a better and better choice for retirement by the day.

I love watching the libs melt down over getting this country back to its roots and rebuilding what they have destroyed and their confusion and derision when the unwashed agree with it.

It’s a start. We can move on from there.

I’m surprised I haven’t seen a Palin/Brewer 2012 bumper sticker graphic yet!

Probably because it should be a Brewer/Palin 2012 sticker.

Upping the ante. I can’t wait to hear the screaming on this one.

Good news. I wonder how they treat homeschoolers?

All that was overthrown in the 1970’s by Alex Haley’s “Roots”, which was also turned into a popular TV miniseries: Almost immediately, the culture changed, so that people were not identified as Americans, but as particular “nationalities”. This went WAY beyond blacks and Latinos, and continues today.

I have to respectfully disagree. It started long before the publication of "Roots". :-) People always had those views... even more so back in our parents and grandparents' generations.

By the time "Roots" came out in the '70's, there already was a movement among people, including "white ethnics", to reconnect with their ancestral heritage with a sense of pride. We might laugh about it today, but in the '70's, it was the fashion to even advertise one's "nationality" on t-shirts, hats, and everything. "Roots" merely reflected that cultural shift. The cultural shift is what made the book.

Today, there seems to be far less of that way of thinking. It seems to exist mainly among "black" and "Latino" groups. That's because people of European descent intermarried in greater numbers; that's why that way of thinking is no longer prevalent among "whites".
