Huppenthal: Cut UA Ethnic Studies programs

by

by David Safier

I'm certain I heard Huppenthal say, during a primary candidates' forum, that TUSD's Ethnic Studies program should be cut, because the high school kids are too young and impressionable. Programs like that are more suited to the University.

Since then, I guess Huppenthal has decided that statement wasn't anti-Ethnic enough. Now he's saying, if he becomes Ed Supe, he'll do what he can to put handcuffs on Ethnic Studies at UA as well.

The story is on the password protected Capitol Times, so unfortunately, all I have to go on is the headline and lead sentence:

Huppenthal would seek to restrict ethnic studies at UofA

Sen. John Huppenthal intends to take his fight against ethnic studies programs to the University of Arizona if he is elected state superintendent of public instruction.

I usually don't use fragments like this for a source, but it's not usually the Friday before an election which could vote someone like Huppental in as our head Ed guy.

  2. If elected, he will have a vote on the 12 person Arizona Board of Regents and he has mentioned in other interviews his intention to use that as an opportunity to bring up his issues.
