Immigration Politics: Arizona Orders Tucson to End Mexican-American Studies Program

Arizona Orders Tucson to End Mexican-American Studies Program - NYTimes.com: ".... Although open to any student at Tucson High Magnet School, nearly all of those attending Curtis Acosta’s Latino literature class on a recent morning were Mexican-American.

For all of that and more, Mr. Acosta’s class and others in the Tucson Unified School District’s Mexican-American program have been declared illegal by the State of Arizona — even while similar programs for black, Asian and American Indian students have been left untouched." Jan. 7, 2011
