The schools and colleges in America should not allow evil people to come in and teach “Hate America” classes and stick the American tax payer with the bill.

But lawmakers in America are all so criminally wicked and evil, they will allow practically anything and everything that is bad to have dominion over that which is good and right.

According to the story, they view the police department as an extension of the white power structure and strongmen used to keep minorities in their ghettos.

That statement shows that they are misguided in thinking that the color of the elite rulers in America is white, no, the color of the elite ruling class in America is green. Green as in money green.

These raza people do not speak, Nahuatl, the language of the Aztec, they speak Spanish the language of Europeans.

If they were Aztec, they would be speaking the Aztec language, not the language of Spain.

They say this land was Mexico before it became part of the U.S.

But they deny the fact that this land was NDN land before there ever was a Mexico or a U.S.

It really makes no difference what race you are anymore in America, what matters is how much money you have, and who you know in high places.

Their attitude is just what the ruling elite expects, and is counting on.

Then at the appropriate time, they will declare marshal law in America.

This may very well take place this year as George Bush attacks Iran using nuclear weapons which will most likely cause Russia to nuke America, followed by marshal law, civil war, economic collapse, and who knows what else.

Unit One thank you for your informative post. Have you seen this? It is a community built, not for returning wounded soldiers and their families but for 'migrant farm workers' please pass the information forward.*see page 17
http://www.nrhcweb.org/news/FinalReport.pdf
Page 17 MET

then this on page 4 of the same link
In response to this need, in 2003 CASA developed "Hacienda West Apartments", 32 units for farmworkers
and their families in Hermiston. Hacienda West Apartments consists of 16 two-bedroom, 11 three-bedroom
and 5 four-bedroom units, with rents of $382 for a two-bedroom,$443 for a three-bedroom, and $493 for a
four-bedroom. With the aid of Rental Assistance, tenants pay no more than 30 percent of their income
toward rent

Unit One, all of this is the tip of the iceburg of places built in this nation for migrant farm workers and their families. I am interested to see what you think about these places. Personally, I am offended that our wounded warriors have not had places built for them and their families. In many cases they will not be able to return to their former types of employment due to their injuries. When wounded to the point of discharge they lose their military housing too. Many of these places have been constructed since the wars began, our government knew our brave men and women & their families, were going to need homes when discharged, yet if there is One place like these built in our nation for them I have not heard of it.

I cannot believe the people in Tucson are not in a rage over this! I listened to an audio interview of the Superintendent of the school and he confirms this is happening but that he can't do anything about it, it would have to come from the school board.......... parents in Tucson, DO SOMETHING!!!

On Sept 11th America was attacked by Saudi Arabian muslim terrorists.

And George Weiner Bush goes and attacks the wrong country.(Iraq)

Hey Grandma, now that's even harder to believe that an entire nation (America) would be silent about that.

15 of the 19 Sept 11th hijackers were from Saudi Arabia.

Do the math.

Raza Studies Give Rise To Racism
http://www.immigrationwatchdog.com/...
May 21 2008
As a former teacher in Tucson Unified School District’s hotly debated ethnic studies department, I submit my perspective for the public’s consideration.
During the 2002-2003 school year, I taught a U.S. history course with a Mexican-American perspective. The course was part of the Raza/Chicano studies department.
Within one week of the course beginning, I was told that I was a “teacher of record,” meaning that I was expected only to assign grades. The Raza studies department staff would teach the class.
I was assigned to be a “teacher of record” because some members of the Raza studies staff lacked teaching certificates. It was a convenient *way of circumventing the rules.
I stated that I expected to do more than assign grades. I expected to be involved in teaching the class. The department was less than enthusiastic but agreed.
Immediately it was clear that the class was not a U.S. history course, which the state of Arizona requires for graduation. The class was similar to a sociology course one expects to see at a university.
Where history was missing from the course, it was filled by controversial and biased curriculum.

The basic theme of the curriculum was that Mexican-Americans were and continue to be victims of a racist American society driven by the interests of middle and upper-class whites.

In this narrative, whites are able to maintain their influence only if minorities are held down.
Thus, social, political and economic events in America must be understood through this lens.

This biased and sole paradigm justified teaching that our community police officers are an extension of the white power structure and that they are the strongmen used “to keep minorities in their ghettos.”
It justified telling the class that there are fewer Mexican-Americans in Tucson Magnet High School’s advanced placement courses because their “white teachers” do not believe they are capable and do not want them to get ahead.

It justified teaching that the Southwestern United States was taken from Mexicans because of the insatiable greed of the Yankee who acquired his values from the corrupted ethos of Western civilization.

***
It was taught that the Southwest is “Atzlan,” the ancient homeland of the Aztecs, and still rightfully belongs to their descendants - to all people of indigenous Mexican heritage.***

It's simply amazing the hate, racism and outright lies that raza studies has been allowed to teach in public schools all paid for with tax payer dollars.

I agree, and am extreamly thankful to this former teacher for going public with this information! Hopefully we can spread the word. The letter gives enough information that parents should be able to ask the right questions of their children. In my experience, if it is going on in one place... it is in many other classrooms across the nation. Because of the sneaky way this is brought into the classrooms, the children do not take a "textbook" home.. and parents will not know to question what their children are being taught. This is very serious.
