Arizona Legislature Bill Banning Ethnic Studies Programs

Apparently the higher-ups in the Arizona State Government have decided that a slow-and-steady approach to alienating their ethnic is a hogwash strategy and went all blitzkrieg with their anti-non-white people legislation. This is the third instance this month where Arizona is proving itself to be the most racist asshole this side of the Mississippi. According to Fox News, the bill proposes banning any school district from teaching "any courses that promote the overthrow of the U.S. government, promote resentment of a particular race or class of people, are designed primarily for students of a particular ethnic group or 'advocate ethnic solidarity instead of the treatment of pupils as individuals.'" As to how they thought that this was a good idea for Arizona tourism right before the summer vacation rush is beyond me. State Superintendent for Public Instruction Tom Horne referred to the bill as a victory for the unification of all of Arizona's (assumably legal) students, since ethnic studies programs are "designed to promote ethnic chauvinism". And by ethnic chauvinism, we can only assume he is trying to propose that people from different backgrounds and different histories shouldn't be biased to their own understandings of the past. Well, they can be biased, but they should just stay at home or write home about it. One could say that the Harvard Law School grad with honors Horne, with 24 years experience, must obviously know what he's talking with regards to education, but not when it comes to bigoted, obtuse statements about the multi-faceted nature of your new geopolitical environment. The Arizona State Senate approved the bill on Wednesday, which was sent over to the state House yesterday and passed 32-26. Now all that has to happen is for Governor Jan Brewer to sign (or not sign) the bill into law, and then awkwardly answer that she does not know what an "ethnic studies program" looks like. Probably since there were no ethnic studies courses available at Glendale Community College, Governor Brewer will probably defend the bill stating that she is against all types of ethnics being chauvinists since she's a female governor. Or something that inane
