Before Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R) signed the state’s now notorious immigration bill there seemed to be at least some question about whether she’d sign the bill. But she now seems to have decided to go all in with the anti-immigrant fervor sweeping the state. Brewer yesterday signed a new bill restricting ‘ethnic studies’ classes in state schools, particularly banning any curriculum which teaches students “to resent or hate other races or classes of people.”
The law is apparently targeted at the Mexican-American studies program in the Tucson Unified School District which the law’s proponents claim teaches Latino students to believe they’re oppressed by white people.
