A month after the ridiculous immigration law was passed in Arizona comes a law that will limit ethnic studies in public schools. Governor Jan Brewer signed a bill that bans the teachings of ethnic studies that show resentment of minorities.
In my opinion this bill is completely outrageous. Obviously certain minorities have faced tougher times than others. Teaching students about this is not going to harm anyone, it is just teaching them history. People come from different countries and have faced a variety of difficulties due to their race, whether it is accepted or not. Banning the teachings of minorities so others do not "feel bad" for them is racist. It is just Arizona's way of making sure that minorities, like Mexican-Americans, can not get ahead or have any leeway after the immigration law that was passed over a month ago.
