Updates last week from Tucson

We'll be viewing Precious Knowledge Thursday, which documents both the Mexican American Studies program in Tucson and its shutdown.

There was some breaking news last week in the lawsuit filed by teachers and students from the MASA program claiming civil rights infringement.

Read on..., and if you have a few minutes, peep the video featuring Tom Horne (former Superintendent now Arizona's Attorney General) and African American Studies Professor Michael Eric Dyson

P.S. The discussion questions this week are EXCELLENT - pictures and videos much appreciated along with onpoint responses and questions to help us dig deeper.

  1. What's history without the "downer?" I find it so hard to really understand Tom Horne's press reasy talking points as substancial evidence to reconsider the possible negative effects teaching ethnic studies bring. I just can't watch him, his smile seems pressed and arguments compressed to PC guidelines.

    This is no dialogue, it makes Professor Michael Eric Dyson seem like a History preacher than professor on this subject.
