MABA Welcomes Dr. Frank Barajas & Dr. Jose Alamillo to February Meeting

CSUCI Professors, Dr. Frank Barajas and Dr. Jose Alamillo will discuss the Arizona Law which eliminates the teaching of ethnic studies in Arizona public schools. Many of us got to our professional positions and success because of ethnic studies.

Please come and learn about this critical issue for our community.

“The implementation of the Arizona law HB 2281 has now permitted the banning and elimination of the Mexican-American Studies Program at the Tucson School District. The use of selective discrimination did not eliminate the District’s African-American or Native-American Studies Programs. This Mexican-American Studies ban includes the outlawing of certain courses, books, authors and ideas that the state of Arizona and the Tucson School Board believe are dangerous and “un-American”. This book-banning and censorship is reminiscent of the repressive 1950′s McCarthyist period when any dissenting ideas, writers and books were black-listed. With the disbanding of Mexican-American Studies at the TUSD, students are now forbidden to voluntarily take courses that pertain to Chicano history.”
