Rittenberg Lounge
On Jan. 10, 2012, the governing board of Tucson Unified School District voted to terminate the popular and enormously successful Mexican American Studies program, under pressure from the Arizona State Superintendent of Instruction. Two weeks earlier a judge had found it in violation of a new Arizona state law prohibiting classes designed for particular ethnic groups. Curtis Acosta, an educator from Tucson, will speak about the development of the Mexican-American Studies curriculum, its success with students, how and why it was found illegal, and the ongoing struggle for Mexican-American rights in Arizona.
