Ariz. Withholds School Funding over Ethnic Studies Class The Arizona Department of Education imposed severe financial penalties on Tucson Unified School District on Friday for violating a new state law by refusing to revamp or end its controversial Mexican-American studies curriculum. Last year, the state put into effect the ethnic-studies law, which bans classes that promote the overthrow of the U.S. government, encourage resentment toward a race or class of people, are designed solely for students of a certain ethnic background and advocate ethnic solidarity instead of the treatment of students as individuals. www.governing.com/news/state/Ariz-Withholds-School-Funding-over-Ethnic-Studies-Class.html
