Anti-white, anti American studies remain available to future radicals.
The Tucson Unified School District superintendent in the middle of a push to have a radical Mexican-American studies class changed to an elective, has now backed down from his position, even going as far as to issue an apology. The change follows two wild demonstrations at consecutive school board meetings, one in which students chained themselves to desks, and another in which the riot police were called in.
Note: You can contact the TUSD here. We will. — Ed. (Note: the contact link on the left was mysteriously made inop. But below you will find all of the contacts that require your input on this matter. — Ed.)
Superintendent John Pedicone told local station KOLD-TV that he sent a letter to UNIDOS — the radical student group opposing the change — and the Mexican American Studies Community Advisory Board saying he has now advised the TUSD governing board to “table and not consider the resolution to make Mexican American Studies an elective.” (Quote is not Pedicone’s, but rather KOLD’s.)
Also contained in at least one of the letters is a promise that he won’t recommend charges (Emphasis ours. — Ed.) against those who were arrested during the rowdy protests.
