Tucson Orders Closure of Mexican-American School Program as Ethnic Studies Faces Nationwide Threat

I can see this as nothing more than a racist attack against the Latin/Chicano/Mexican people as a whole.  To act like this kind of thing is a bad subject to learn, under the intentionally misleading guise that it causes division amongst people, is disgusting.

In schools across the country history, especially American history, is usually seen through the eyes of white people.  Whether that is the celebration of Christopher Columbus, the lionizing of the Founding Fathers, the slight mention of white supremacists, or the just-barely-enough history of the Civil Rights Era, American schools have taught its students white history as if it was universal fact.

Along comes, however, something like this or the role the LGBT community in the United States and what happens? People, mostly older white people, get upset.  I assure you if they knew they could get away with it, these very same people would, nation-wide, try to get African-American history yanked out of schools as well.
