Arizona's Rancid History: Legalizing Bigotry http://www.counterpunch.org/smith05282010.html

On April 29, the Arizona legislature passed a law banning ethnic studies at all public and charter schools across the state...“[T]he legislature finally...had it with [ethnic studies]...and passed a law that said that they cannot teach things that try to pit race against race and...that they should feel oppressed by their own government”...In truth, Arizona’s Black, Latino and Native American populations do not need ethnic studies to learn that they are oppressed by their own government.
