Damn racist Arizona school system
Full story here
Can this be the beginnng where American guilt finally starts to disappear? I never read a history book that used the work "we" as it's used below.
Quote:PHOENIX (AP) - The Arizona state schools chief said Wednesday that an ethnic studies program in Tucson is violating a new state law by advocating ethnic solidarity among Latinos and promoting resentment toward white people
Quote:Among the ethnic studies program materials that Huppenthal said were in violation of the other state law included passages such as:
"We will now see the real forces behind this so-called 'manifest destiny.' We will see how half of Mexico was ripped off by trickery and violence," according to a quote from a source called "American History from a Chicana/o Perspective," provided by the department.
"In the process of being colonized, we were robbed of land and other resources," according to the quote. "We were murdered and lynched."
Quote:A group of 10 protesters staked out the news conference at the education department Wednesday holding signs that read, "We want to learn our Mexican-American history."
One chanted in a bullhorn: "We will not comply with racism."

RE: Damn racist Arizona school system
This has opened the eyes of a few "educators" who are right in the middle of it. But, I doubt it will have a broad impact.
It's right in front of their face in Phx (and other parts of the country) but it's been ingrained too deeply that, "Everyone just wants to get along and be good Americans." And no white person wants to be a "racist."
9/11 didn't shake people's beliefs very much. I doubt this will.

RE: Damn racist Arizona school system
This is the subversive efforts of the group La Raza. They call themselves a civil rights and advocacy organization, but in reality they are a subversive organization. Their claim that they were robbed of land and murdered and lynched must be answered instead of ignored. Their claim that they were colonized must be answered instead of ignored. These "educators" are doing what Terrorist teach their children in Saudi. These Hispanic civil rights educators must be stopped. It should carry criminal penalties. Either that or we will find ourselves in an undeclared war with Hispanic radicals. We have enemy aliens among us. This sedition will only get worse if not confronted head on.
