(Arizona Daily Star) — State Superintendent Tom Horne’s latest attack against Tucson Unified School District’s ethnic-studies department is nothing more than a publicity stunt.I teach two of the ethnic-studies courses in question: Native American and African-American Literatures. When Mr. Horne leveled his same accusations three years ago through the media, I responded by articulating the purpose and objectives of the courses and encouraged him to actually attend the classes he so vilifies. To this day, he has never been in any of the classes. Horne continued his attack on a visit to TUSD on May 12. According to the Arizona Daily Star, “Horne said he merely wanted to meet with TUSD to learn about all of the ethnic-study programs it offers.”
