Arizona bans ethnic studies in public schools

Arizona bans ethnic studies in public schools (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. Brewer's signature comes less than a month after she approved a state law that requires immigrants to carry their registration documents at all times and allows police to question individuals' immigration status in the process of enforcing any other law or ordinance. Critics of the law say it will lead to racial profiling, while supporters say it involves no racial profiling and is needed to crack down on increasing crime involving illegal immigrants. On Wednesday, the Los Angeles City Council overwhelmingly approved a boycott of Arizona-based businesses and governments unless the state repeals the new immigration law. The city's legislative analyst reported that Los Angeles currently has $56 million in contracts with companies headquartered in Arizona. Several other California cities, including San Francisco and Oakland, have already adopted resolutions requesting city departments to not sign any new contracts with Arizona companies.

Fucking racist idiots.

LAND OF THE FREEEE

For the record, not all Californians endorse LA's boycott. Seems incredibly stupid to me to boycott another state's goods and hurt other businesses just because you disagree with their laws.

Arizona =/= the US

same goes for the rest of the hill billy states

Jesus fucking Christ .

I'd really love for the South to just go form their own racist country. Enjoy buying all your Chinese shit through us!

What a bunch of fucking retarded hicks. These idiots need to work on pulling their heads out of their asses first before they tackle other shit.

well I for one salute Arizona

What I find most astonishing is that they would even consider something like this after all of the flack they received for the immigration bill. It's like adding fucking fuel to the fire at this point.

Red necks, hicks.. hell someone even mentioned the south in this thread.

Who is more ignorant? The people passing these shitty laws or the idiots in here who don't understand geography (Arizona != South) and groups of people who are bound to specific regions (Hicks and red necks).

Sounds like something you'd learn in ethnic studies.

South != Southwest

Since it was considered the southwest.

LOL!

It's still in the fucking south you picky bastard.



Also... are there geographic parameters for who can be called a red neck and who can be called a hick?

Technically speaking, it is a state on our southern border, yes. However, it's not "considered" a southern state.

No. That's where Marc Summers is a fucking moron.

Redneck has its roots from the south, a derogatory term for poor white southern farmers. Hillbillies are people who are from the Appalachian mountains (Hence the "Hill") Hick is a term to describe someone from the south or even the Midwest.

The "South" is usually a term which defines states below the mason dixon line and extends from the east coast to Texas (Texas may disagree though, since they are cocky bastards)
