[xmca] Horne pushing for ban to ethnics studies

[Nacaveva Morales <nacaveva@hotmail.com>]

In middle of an anti-immigrant environment because the BP1070 law in 
Arizona, the state superintendent of public instruction, Tom Horne, is 
pushing for ban studies on literature, government and history that show 
the role of native american, mexican, asian and african-american 
heritage on american history (in fact, the law was recently approved). 
The district or charter schools that allowed these course would lose ten
 percent of its state funds each month in spite of, according to Tucson 
school district, students who take the courses perform better on state's
 AIMS test that student who do not take the courses.

I believe in
 cultural perspective of human and a nation could have a lot of 
perspectives not just one, a official one. That is a big mistake of the 
Arizona's government

PD:
 There is no only political implication on this topic but educational 
too. Under a cross-cultural perspective this is a important case of 
study
