The GOP is sealing its own fate. Pretty soon Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Nevada will be solid blue states with Texas turning into a swing state. Thanks GOP!

Was there repression by gringos?

Anyway, Tucson is filled with smart people. They'll get this thing figured out. I've always said that these types of studies program should be a part of a general American History syllabus.

Conservatives want revisionist history taught in schools, not actual history that causes them cognitive dissonance.

Probably along those lines. Aztlan teaches that Mexicans must regain control of Colorado, California, Arizona, Texas, Utah, New Mexico, Oregon and parts of Washington because they were stolen from them.

I'd say they already got CA, AZ and TX by sheer population numbers.

The Irish, have never had a culture studies program either.......I call this bias and if they want to know their culture go back where they came from.

This is America and the only "culture program" they should be learning is about America. If they want these Chicano studies, do it on their dime and their time.

Only in a red state would ignorance be considered a virtue.

Arizona to withhold funding for Mexican American studies program - latimes.com

Ignorance? Why isn't there a white studies group? Racism. Chicano studies is more racism. La RAZA and LULAC are racists. Arizona is defunding racism. Good for Arizona.

Funny, I've never gone to a College that didn't have some Foreign Culture Studies courses.
