Tucson teachers fight to overturn ban on Mexican American classes
The Guardian ^ | 21 January 2011 | Chris McGreal

Arizona is a state riddled with anti-government white militias, radio stations pumping out racist hate speech and politicians who wave guns as they denounce the oppressive rule of Washington. But Arizona's attorney general apparently believes the real threat to the stability of the US government is being fomented in a handful of high schools in a liberal corner of the desert state.

Tom Horne has declared classes in Mexican-American history and social studies in the city of Tucson illegal on the grounds that they are "propagandising and brainwashing" students into overthrowing the constitutional government and hating white people.

Horne has ordered schools to scrap the ethnic studies programmes under a law he wrote in his previous role as Arizona's education superintendent. He has not banned similar classes dealing with black or Native American history on the grounds that no one has complained about them.

Critics, including teachers of the classes he wants to scrap, accuse Horne of political opportunism by exploiting growing hostility to people of Hispanic origin in a state that recently passed controversial anti-immigrant legislation.

These “classes” are scams, where a teacher would be told that their name would be on the class, but they would not teach. Instead, La Raza and MEChA race pimps, *not* certified as teachers, would come in to indoctrinate students.

What was taught included that the southwest is Aztlan, that should either be ruled by Mexico, or ruled as a separate, ethnically Mexican nation, after secession from the United States. That Mexicans should displace other races in Aztlan, forcing them out. And that whites had long oppressed Mexicans living in the US, citizens or not, and that they are racists and continue to do so.

The founding principles of MEChA are contained in these words in “El Plan Espiritual de Aztlan” (The Spiritual Plan for Aztlan):

“In the spirit of a new people that is conscious not only of its proud historical heritage but also of the brutal gringo invasion of our territories, we, the Chicano inhabitants and civilizers of the northern land of Aztlan from whence came our forefathers, reclaiming the land of their birth and consecrating the determination of our people of the sun, declare that the call of our blood is our power, our responsibility, and our inevitable destiny. Aztlan belongs to those who plant the seeds, water the fields, and gather the crops and not to the foreign Europeans. We are a bronze people with a bronze culture. Before the world, before all of North America, before all our brothers in the bronze continent, we are a nation, we are a union of free pueblos, we are Aztlan. For La Raza todo. Fuera de La Raza nada.”

That closing two-sentence motto is chilling to everyone who values equal rights for all. It says: “For The Race everything. Outside The Race, nothing.”

Mcgreal is a well known anti-american baiter. Why else would the Guardian hire him? See CIF watch for his views on Israel.

There’s no ban on classes... there’s a ban on PUBLIC SCHOOLS holding these classes at taxpayer expense during mandatory school time.

Ah, but they are being overrun with Mooslimes. The Religion of Peace will bring “civility” to the UK. Right!

And Great Britain is a semi-totalitarian province of the Brussel’s where supporting Britain for the British is punishable with a jail sentence.

Mexicans have too much pride? Mexicans have no shame. If they had either their country wouldn’t be a mess.

Yes its true Mexicans have produced Mexico, now that fact might make the PC cultists squeamish but it is true.
