After five years of battling in the courts, supporters of Mexican American studies in Tuscon, AZ schools have a ruling by a US District Court judge who found the law forbidding the curriculum was “racially and politically motivated.”
The original state law passed in 2010 allowed Arizona to withhold school funds from a school offering classes that “promote the overthrow of the United States government; promote resentment toward a race or class of people; are designed primarily for pupils of a particular ethnic group; advocate ethnic solidarity instead of the treatment of pupils as individuals.”
Rather than design a curriculum that met the law, advocates have been seeking a repeal of the law itself. They found a federal judge willing to rule it unconstitutional, thus opening the door have the law voided.
The federal judge who reviewed the law was appointed to the Ninth Circuit Court by Bill Clinton in 1995 Here
Judge A Wallach Tachima and the Ninth Circuit initially upheld most of the provisions of the original law but the judge was instructed by the Court that it “could still be unconstitutional if enacted for political or racial reasons,” which he found in his ruling on Tuesday.
This Class Will Be Outright Toxic For Our Southwest !
Will The First Semester Focus on Long Ago Dead or Settled Mexican Land Grants ? If So Students Will Demand That Much of the Southwest is Theirs . Statues are an Issue, But This is A Liberal ” A Bomb ” !!!
The ultra conservative 9th Circuit ruled this way?
Get outta here.
Just a reminder, 9th circuit rulings stand up even less successfully than single ply toilet paper.
La Raza in the classroom? Sure, what could possibly go wrong?
Next it will be phucking antifa.
All these hyphenated ethnicity labels need to be shit canned. Either you’re an American or you need to get the hell out of my country. It’s not a melting pot, it’s enclaves of invaders who intend to colonize parts of our nation.
“In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person’s becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American…There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag… We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language… and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.”
Theodore Roosevelt 1907
