If anything, any resistance has been peaceful overall. So, they really fear of losing their place in the order and all the privileges that come with it. Identical job there.
Race based, one nation, deny all critical thinking etc. Or, just like in China today. Or how old USSR used to be. Except that in todays Russia there is more freedom of learning and thought than todays Arizona. Your comment appears to presuppose that any feelings of anger and despair on the part of Latinos would necessarily be fully justified.
Imagine a scenario where David Duke were lecturing white students enrolled in a White Studies program or Al Sharpton were lecturing black students enrolled in a Black Studies program. Moderate, reasonable people might be justified in being concerned that both groups were being unproductively inculcated with feelings of anger and despair. Hell yes. Latinos should be angry and outraged over being oppressed, and this latest chapter in the book of white supremacy is one more reason to fight against it.
Comparing David Duke with Al Sharpton is is like comparing apples to kumkwats. David Duke is a white supremacist while Al Sharpton is a civil rights advocate. Neither men have anything in common. One wants racial superiority. The other wants equality and fairness. Take a guess which one is which. Moderate, reasonable people would not think that both whites and nonwhites are both drowning in despair at least for the same reasons.
They would not side the dominant perspective of what is fair and unfair. They would see things as they are and not what they or society wants them to see. Wow, David Duke and Al Sharpton as parallels of one another.
Or Jesse Jackson and George Wallace perhaps? Actually, brothawolf, that was a good catch on your part. I am not going to degrade you but can you be honest — were you born in a bubble? Because the premises that you start with, e. Why do i get the feeling that you come from old money? I might be totally off-base with that assumption — correct me if i am.
This very law could be used to ban the mainstream curriculum since it promotes resentment of latinos…. What we should be debating is the specific content and materials of that curriculum. Instead, you seem to begin with a premise that a given group ought to feel outraged, so therefore any and all curricula which provokes outrage is acceptable.
Seriously man, try harder. I come from agricultural peasant stock and grew up either upper lower class or lower middle class depending on how you slice the pie.
Horne killed and you sneered at the only thing known to Tucson that was saving it from that fate. Horne then talks about MAS spreading anger and despair by teaching Latinos that they are oppressed by whites. Both you and Horne seem to miss the irony of that statement. He is either an utterly clueless moron or a sinister fuck. Since he graduated magna cum laude from Harvard I presume the latter.
Are you familiar with Duke being in prison for tax and mail fraud and getting arrested in the Czech Republic for suspicion of Nazi activity? Besides, you brought up those two named to begin with.
Shaprton is more acceptable to the mainstream as he is not militant in his beliefs. Anyone with common sense outside the norm knows that this is a form of oppression against nonwhites. For the nation as a whole. MAS was in place from to the very beginning of , so you would expect to see higher overall Latino graduation rates in and He was comparing graduation rates for Latino students who took MAS to those who did not. Good example of Horne wrapping himself in That MLK Quote to support his colour-blind thinking — which, in effect, defends institutional racism.
From what I understand in or some time after Arizona made passing a state test part of its graduation requirements. Forty-seven percent of Americans pay no income tax. Can you see why one might mistake you for a blue blood, since your point of view is completely guided by the assumption that people fighting for social justice are not entitled to it?
The form of the argument goes like this:. We should do something about a problem. Therefore, any program designed to address that problem is good. Optional: 3. The relevant discussion here ought to be about evaluating the particular program itself. Did Romney really said that? He is talkin about himself then. After all, man has about million dollars hidden in tax haven somewhere….
See how italian immigrants were treated for a long time and then go hide in shame. What saved them was not that they were such great fellas who accepted racism of USA just like that. What saved them were new immigrant groups, who replaced them as spittoons.
And of course, there were always the blacks, mexicans and native americans to spit on. Why is it so hard for you to admit that the Mexicans lived and ruled Arizona and rest of Southwest US before white Americans took over. White children in public schools are still sitting next to black and brown ones, so they are all listening to the same teacher and hearing the same Exact lesson. Renaming Social Studies in primary and secondary schools as Anglo-American studies is the next best idea I heard.
In my experience whenever you say anything bad about white people it is read that way no matter how carefully you phrase things. The decision drew national attention as administrators plucked Latino literature that once belonged to the curriculum from classrooms, explicitly banning seven titles from instruction.
