[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 832153, member: 12952"] A mob of both students and adults angry over the impending vote by the Tucson school board to make Raza studies or Mexican-American studies an elective, rather than forcing children to take the race-based curriculum rushed into the meeting room, chaining themselves to chairs. Police simply stood by and watched as the loud mob took-over the room and refused to leave. Raza studies (race studies) have been taught in the TUSD for about a dozen years. One of the textbooks they use is titled “Occupied America,” which was written by Rodolfo Acuña and includes a speech given by activist and university professor Jose Angel Gutierrez in which he says: “We have got to eliminate the gringo, and what I mean by that is if the worst comes to the worst, we have got to kill him,” (pg. 323). The book also talks about the need for Mexico to re-take seven states in the Southwestern United States. The following rather shocking quotes are taken directly from Occupied America (pg. 167): “Supporters would execute all white males over age 16,” (also known as the Plan of San Diego). “The Southwest would become a Chicano nation.” Obviously, teaching children such ethno-centric values and even over-taking a portion of this country, through violence if necessary can only lead to those students’ further isolation and distrust of anyone who looks or sounds different from them.
