My Views on Tucson Arizona School District ban on ethnic books



In today's society knowledge should be free, knowledge should also be accessible to everyone regardless of race, gender or age. Tucson, Arizona has tried to limit the knowledge of their children by eliminating the mexican studies program. This blog is about my disappointment in the school system as well as the state for executing such a excruciating plan. Arizona is home to many hispanics, primarily mexicans I don't think it is fair to deprive them of their history. American History is taught in every school system nationwide and is politically biased for the American people. Many of the success Mexico has had will never be covered in a American History textbook and eliminating such a prolific program is detrimental to the large population of Mexican students in Arizona. This video expresses my reaction to the decision, and I will love to get back resolutions or opinions to this situation.
