Arizona Tells Federal Government To Go To Hell

Arizona governor signs restriction on ethnic studies classes

PHOENIX (AP) – Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer signed a bill targeting a school district’s ethnic studies program Tuesday, hours after a report by United Nations human rights experts condemned the measure.

State schools chief Tom Horne, who has pushed the measure for years, claims a Tucson school district program promotes “ethnic chauvinism” and racial resentment toward whites while segregating students by race.

“It’s just like the old South, and it’s long past time that we prohibited it,” Horne said.

The measure prohibits classes that advocate ethnic solidarity, that are designed primarily for students of a particular race or that promote resentment toward a certain ethnic group. It also prohibits classes that promote the overthrow of the U.S. government.

The Tucson Unified School District program offers specialized courses in African-American, Mexican-American and Native-American studies that focus on history and literature and include information about the influence of a particular ethnic group.

For example, in the Mexican-American Studies program, an American history course explores the role of Hispanics in the Vietnam War, and a literature course emphasizes Latino authors

Horne said he is convinced that the Mexican-American studies program teaches Latino students that they are oppressed by white people. Public schools should not be encouraging students to resent a particular race, he said.

Brewer’s signature on the bill comes less than a month after she signed the nation’s toughest crackdown on illegal immigration – a move that ignited international backlash amid charges the measure would encourage racial profiling of Hispanics.

A Republican running for attorney general, Horne has been trying to restrict the program ever since he learned that Hispanic civil rights activist Dolores Huerta in 2006 told students that “Republicans hate Latinos.”

(This is what it is all about. The "ethnic studies" programs are used to create racism. Now Arizona is telling the federal government and obama to go to hell! Arizona is starting to "kick" obama in the "butt". This is exactly what all America is going to also do in the Nov 2010 elections. I hope more states tell the federal government and the obama administration hell no. Its about time!) Story Reports

Sean Arce, director of the district’s Mexican-American Studies program, said last month that students perform better in school if they see in the curriculum people who look like them.

(I want additional ethnic programs for "white" people because I also believe that students perform better in school if they see in the curriculum people who look like them. If I believed this I would be making a racist comment just like sean arce. Sean acre is obviously a racist promoting racism just like obama and his administration) Story Reports

Not only is obama an illegal alien he is also a racist promoting racism.

Six UN human rights experts released a statement earlier Tuesday expressing concern about the measure. All people have the right to learn about their own cultural and linguistic heritage, they said.

Brewer spokesman Paul Senseman didn’t directly address the UN criticism, but said Brewer supports the bill’s goal.

“The governor believes ... public school students should be taught to treat and value each other as individuals and not be taught to resent or hate other races or classes of people,” Senseman said.

The law doesn’t prohibit classes that teach about the history of a particular ethnic group, as long as the course is open to all students and doesn’t promote ethnic solidarity or resentment.
