Where the Heck! Are We Going Arizona?

Where the Heck! Are We Going Arizona?

In the article where are we going Arizona Nicole Buidotti-Hernandez explains the problems with Mexicans having to be carded because the law wasn’t vetoed by Brewer.  This had an effect on Spanish people in Arizona making it a law to stop and arrest someone that looks Mexican.  Brewer also signed a bill taking away ethic studies causing children in schools to not know their ethnic backgrounds because she an many other people feel that is not important to American culture.  “This is something that needs to be nipped in the bud; we cannot have copycat laws in other states following the misinformed lead of Arizona legislators that make white supremacy fashionable,” said marcher Geoff Valdes, a resident of Austin, Texas. Mexican culture in America is making be taught as if it’s something everybody should wear as a trend. In this quote by Valdes is basically saying if US the People of America can let Mexican Americans cross our borders and teach in our schools, what else can be let allowed in our Home. I believe that ethnic studies are important; people should be able to have a voice and a choice. In your own thoughts my fellow readers what do you feel that needs to be resolved in this matter? Can ethnic studies benefit American children in schools? I say yes.  If you want to find out more about his article watch the YouTube video I attached to my blog or click on the link for this article if you have not read about the fuss in Arizona.
