pretty amazing...

the superintendant of tuscon school's salary = half the cost of the program he wants to kill.

1. Those kids are great

Let's just say it...ALL opposition to ethnic studies programs is driven by racism. There is NO other reason to oppose them. Period.

You lose your dignity and yourself if you lose your culture.

2. i thought it was kind of cool that while one of the male board members was so scared he wouldn't

enter the room & asked for security to accompany him to his car so he could escape, the two female board members joined the kids & supported the action.

they look like they're having a good time at the end, with music.
