Mission: Build Economic Fence Around Arizona
Yesterday the freight train of fascism rolled on in Arizona, where Chicano and Mexican-American studies were banned. The only way to get Arizona's racist legislation killed is by withholding any and all commercial exchange with any enterprise in or associated with Arizona. A clip from the LA Times:
. . . . HB 2281 bans schools from teaching classes that are designed for students of a particular ethnic group, promote resentment or advocate ethnic solidarity over treating pupils as individuals. The bill also bans classes that promote the overthrow of the U.S. government.
The bill was written to target the Chicano, or Mexican American, studies program in the Tucson school system, said state Supt. of Public Instruction Tom Horne.
School districts that don't comply with the new law could have as much as 10% of their state funds
