Tucson bans school books by Chicano and Native American authors

shewalkslikethunder:

Also banned Mexican American Studies curriculum, and teachers were advised to stay away from class units where “race, ethnicity, and oppression are central themes.”

This is what our so called “post-racial” America looks like. We’re not post-racial discrimination, we’re post-racial education and discourse.

Newsflash, Arizona. Brown people will not go away nor forget their oppression just because you stop allowing teachers to talk about them.
