Black, African American, Africana, Ethnic Studies Today:
Judge upholds Arizona law banning ethnic studies classes
• March 12, 2013|• Los Angeles Tines:• TUCSON — An Arizona law that put an end to ethnic studies courses in
Tucson schools has been largely upheld as constitutional by a federal judge, but supporters of the program say their legal fight to restore the program will continue.
• U.S. Circuit Court Judge Wallace Tashima on Friday found most of the law that bans public schools from teaching certain race-related courses, such as Mexican American studies, constitutional with one small exception. Tashima ruled that the portion of the law that prohibits courses designed for certain ethnic groups was unconstitutionally vague.
