Go Huppenthal!
He ran on bringing back the teachings of The Constitution and The Founding Fathers to schools. I hope he continues on the march to weed out the liberal propaganda.
How do ethnic studies prepare a student for life after finishing school? But it preparing a student for adult life was the goal of high school, most of its cirriculum would have to be abolished.
OH...and Grijalva can suck it!! I loathe that traitor.
Huppenthal told CNN he was backing this week's decision by exiting state superintendent Tom Horne giving the state's second largest district 60 days to comply with a new 2011 law banning certain ethnic studies programs in public schools.
No more money for ethnic studies in racially segregated classes!
I think you are missing the point. School isn't about preparing for life after finishing school. It's about understanding how each and every class of people is used by someone else and as a result everyone is a victim. As a result, the only thing that kids need to know to get their diploma is that everyone is a victim and the only way to right such evil injustices is for the benevolent government to step in and make things right.
Jeesh - aren't you keeping up with the academic times?
Wonderful news, and a model for all states. Encouraging ethnic separatism is a cancer, pure and simple.
Leftist = Lying Weasel.
Seems to me that you are very correct - seperate but equal I think was found to be wrong a long time ago...
I doubt if there has been more than a handful of movies or TV shows made in the last 30 years which don’t violate one or more of that laws’ ideas.
It took only 3 replies for somebody to get it right. Good for you. This is first and foremost a waste of student time. If they want to check out the latest in ethnic studies palp let them do it on their own time. Math, science, computer science, english and perhaps some business or vocational training are what is required to produce functioning adults. Opinions don’t put food on the table or boost the GDP.
Easy! That sham "Raza Studies" sheepskin is valid for getting a govt job, especially when coupled with minority set-aside status.
Every wonder why so many govt workers are so stupid (for their given position,) and convert this awkwardness into sullen behavior toward us mere supplicant taxpayers?
They "qualified" for federal or state or city employment based on "ethnic studies" degrees, in "colleges" where nobody ever in history failed in those majors. Plus ethnic skin, you have the golden ticket to govt employment for life. Even if you can't do 8th grade math or English.
C-14. Raza Studies and similar degrees prepare a graduate to become a perfect govt employee.
Horne made compelling arguments about his position on Greta’s show last night. His objects to the “ethnic studies” programs concern the extreme nature and radicalism practiced by the agitating educators involved.
Horne is not against what the majority of citizens would consider to be balanced ethnic studies programs.
High school was a waste of my time. Four years of my life taken away and all I had to show for it was a diploma which did nothing to help me get a job.
Az Govenor candidate Munger tweeted that his FOIA to see the study materials was ignored.
I agree with you on Grijalva, the America-hating, La Raza fatboy.
While this is not another reason to homeschool in the usual sense, it is something concerning the public schools which deserves attention.
It’s good to see someone taking a step in a positive direction in public education, although it shouldn’t have gotten to the point it was at in the first place.
Good to see someone with some backbone.
