Face it, schools just want your children only to learn about dead lily, white Europeans as if the world was invented by them, and as if they created this universe. What are the other kids supposed to think? We should have one curriculum for all kids, and that should be to include all great thinkers from all over the world of every color, not just white, to give everybody a sense of human pride. For some reason Arizona and their Governor is more committed to abolishing anything that is non-white.
The point of public education should be "to teach everyone the same curriculum",which includes non-white people's contributions as well. It's easy for white folks to say that we should eliminate all ethnic studies programs when their ethnicity is dominant. The Ethnic classes success is based on inculcating a sense of pride in one's history and culture.
Is the governor using the right rationale by depriving non-white kids of a program that gives them a sense of identity and pride. Go to any major U.S. city and you will find Little Chinas, Italys, Russias, Israels, Egypts etc ... You can't--and shouldn't--suppress people's connection to their heritage and history.
I also think
it's disingenuous to call for the abolition of ethnic/cultural studies programs when the kids in those classes are being bombarded with white culture every single day non-stop. I wonder when she plans to sign a Eugenics law? How long before they go all the way, and just outlaw non-whites?
Making laws and banning is and attempt to humiliate and denegrate these people simply because they are hispanic/Latino. I knew it wouldn't be long before they start whitewashing history again. I mean come on now, Texas is already trying to rewrite history and they have deleted all minorities out of the new version. Therefore, only white folks exist, all others are non-existent, noncontributers, and we people of color are a figment of our own imagination.
Well...next,I guess, Arizona and Texas will put up their "whites only" signs. In essence, they already have with this new law and revisionist books. This is just a modern version of "whites only" if your peel the accessories off it and take a good look at it. It's time to boycott Arizona, and I wouldn't even drive through there, especially, if you not white.
