The state of Arizona is struggling with racial tensions.
Governor Jan Brewer signed into law a controversial measure to stop illegal immigration, authorizing peace officers to identify the status of individuals stopped in the course of a police investigation.
Another state law outlaws divisive ethnic studies courses.
The findings from the state superintendents field research are beyond "disturbing" -- they are shocking, offensive, and outrageous.
It is perversion for instructors to promote the life and ideology of Ernesto "Che" Guevara, a spoiled middle class Argentinian who dropped out of medical school to wreak havoc on Latin American people and ruin their economies. This man did not represent the "People", but a bloodthirsty drive to control everyone in the name of Communism.
One guest lecturer in a Tuscon school argued that Founding Father Benjamin Franklin was a racist. How would that same "intellectual" characterize cult hero Guevara, who called Africans "lazy and indolent"? Or what about his caustic remarks about Yankees and other assorted "white undesirables"? Who can forget his shabby treatment of political dissidents in Cuba, many of whom were killed summarily without judge, jury, or executioner?
"Chicano Studies" is just another left-wing canard intended to infiltrate learning communities and indoctrinate youth to hate and demand more from the state. Ironically, it is the growth of state power which compromises the liberty of minorities as opposed to enhancing their opportunities.
The people of Arizona should be applauded for having the courage to expect that every resident, no matter what his or her color or ethnic background, is first and foremost an American, and that the institutions of this country, though imperfect, are superior the failing governments in Mexico and Central America, where a number of Hispanic immigrants hail from.
