So many claim that illegal aliens are just a bunch of innocent, hard-working Mexicans who are here for a better life. Those individuals ignore (at best), or deny the reality of the violent hatred of those who promote Aztlan, or the reconquista (the re-conquering) of the American SouthWest.

As KSAZ explains, the class is being reconsidered because it may violate the following state “ethnic studies” class guidelines:

The news outlet reports:

A state law passed in December basically discouraged the classes, saying they segregate students. And this group of students wanted no part of it.

They took over the room, chanted “fight back,” and basically ran the governing board out of the meeting.

Security tried to come in and tried to take the students away, but many of them apparently chained themselves together.

This isn’t over though. The governing board is going to re-schedule its meeting to decide the fate of the classes.

UPDATE:

We’ve come across shocking excerpts from curriculum. You can views those in a follow-up story [below.].

Earlier today we brought you the story of how students chained themselves together at a local Tucson school board chamber to protest administrators who wanted to change the Mexican-American studies curriculum. Currently, a class that teaches history from a Mexican-American perspective is allowed to substitute for the required U.S. history class. But the school superintendent also wants to reevaluate the entire program (and possibly get rid of the class),* in part because it advocates the overthrow of the U.S. government.

Below are excerpts from the controversial curriculum, which (among other things) calls for abolishing Thanksgiving for a National Day of Atonement and includes the headline “Death to the Invader!”

But first, we‘ve also uncovered the superintendent’s findings, which he presented after he reviewed the curriculum. According to him, the Mexican-American Studies Program was found to include all of the below elements that are banned by state law:

Here are the words taken directly from the superintendent’s findings:

So what is so egregious about this program? We’ll let the documents (which were distributed as handouts) speak for themselves (courtesy of Tucsonans United for Sound Districts):

You can see more excerpts, including those from the class “Social Justice, Resistance, and Latino Literature,” here.

Included in the superintendent’s findings was a startling testimonial from a former Hispanic teacher in the district:

Considering the excerpts, it’s not hard to understand how that happened.

*According to an editorial in the Arizona Republic, the school board’s plan is not that radical (and some might argue not radical enough). The board only wants to make the classes true electives, instead of allowing them to substitute for core classes. So that means the disturbing handouts in this story would still theoretically remain in the classroom, just not as prevalent in the overall curriculum.
