Is it just me or is Arizona becoming the great bastion of conservative whiteness…
(CNN) — Fresh on the heels of a new immigration law that has led to calls to boycott her state, Arizona’s governor has signed a bill banning ethnic studies classes that “promote resentment” of other racial groups.
Gov. Jan Brewer approved the measure without public statement Tuesday, according to state legislative records. The new law forbids elementary or secondary schools to teach classes that are “designed primarily for pupils of a particular ethnic group” and advocate “the overthrow of the United States government” or “resentment toward a race or class of people.”
The bill was pushed by state school Superintendent Tom Horne, who has spent two years trying to get Tucson schools to drop a Mexican-American studies program he said teaches Latino students they are an oppressed minority. There was no immediate response from the Tucson Unified School District, the law’s main target. [source]
The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing people he didn’t exist. Seems quite fitting and ironic for what the powers that be are attempting in Arizona.
Without deep introspection or investigation, it is completely apparent that what this ruling hopes to do is to “white wash” or worst yet, sweep under the rug the atrocities that have been committed towards people of colour in the name of founding America. Make no mistake my friends, that this is tantamount to the evil committed by the Chinese government regarding Tianneman Square, where government military openly murdered dissident Chinese protesters who were speaking out against the government. Since then, the Chinese government has decreed that there will be no mention of the event in any school textbooks or electronic archive that is open to the public. THe only thing mentioned is that the righteous government was victorious against a group who sought to undermine the glory of the Chinese people…
No knowledge of the truth=no discussion.. no responsibility. And just as there are many people of colour who never want whites to forget the wrongs they have committed, there are many whites who would enjoy nothing more than to never have to hear about the crimes committed towards others in the name of White power.
So… if you never teach it.. it is never known…
Kudos Arizona… you’ve become even douchier than Texas.
Not sure how the people of Arizona can sleep at night.
