stupidity personified...

 This page features a video about the City of Tucson Arizona banning ethnic studies from all schools... while the video was from Jon Stewart, the real humor is provided by the school board president's replies to questions asked and his personal comments about why the ethnic studies programs were banned. This is an elected official in Tucson. He makes Jan Brewer, the Governor, look like a Rhodes Scholar.

It also demonstrates how much deep racism exists in Arizona....

Have you ever looked at how much deep racism exists in Mexico?
A person cannot own land in Mexico unless they are 51% "mexican" (on their law books!), yet illegal aliens are able to buy land, houses, etc, here, without even becoming citizens. There are a large number of laws/measures that have been passed and are in the works which are designed to excuse illegal aliens from being responsible citizens at all, like recent pushes to forgive owners of unregistered cars in California - and replace their lack-of-fees by increasing the fees on the rest of us.

When only one side of an issue is given coverage, all other sides suffer.

I'm not going to argue that what was done was on the up and up, but I am going to argue that the presentation oversimplifies the situation and isn't a complete and accurate story.
