Arizona Educators Clash Over Mexican-American Studies

Benjamin Franklin is a racist. Che Guevara is a hero. Hispanics are oppressed victims. Portions of the United States are "occupied."

The State of Arizona ought to be applauded for trying to put an end to this sort of shameful crap making its way into the public school system under the banner of "Mexican American Studies." See http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-ethnic-studies-20111120,0,5116540.story?page=1 for a recent article on the issue.
