Finally SOME Common Sense on Education

.
.

Arizone State Rep. Russell Pearce is quickly becoming one of my new heroes! He’s stepped to the plate to take a stand AGAINST the new political correctness that is undermining American education at every turn.

Under Rep. Pearce’s plan Arizona public schools would be barred from any teachings that run counter to democracy or Western civilization under a proposal endorsed last month by a legislative panel.Additionally, the measure would prohibit students of the state's universities and community colleges from forming groups based in whole or part on the race of their members, such as the Black Business Students Association at Arizona State University or Native Americans United at Northern Arizona University. Those groups would be forbidden from operating on campus.

Is this guy GREAT or what?!

Pearce, a Mesa Republican, said his target isn't diversity instruction, but schools that use taxpayer dollars to indoctrinate students in what he characterized as anti-American or seditious thinking. The measure is at least partially a response to a controversy surrounding an ethnic-studies program in the Tucson Unified School District, which critics have said is unpatriotic and teaches revolution.

Arizona State Rep. John Kavanagh, a member of the Appropriations Committee, said he hopes the measure helps return cultural studies in the state's schools to a "melting pot" model."

This bill basically says, 'You're here. Adopt American values,' " said Kavanagh, a Fountain Hills Republican. "If you want a different culture, then fine, go back to that culture."

Amen to that!

The fact is, "Multi-culturalism" advances ethnic resentments and segregation. It has a corrossive impact on any multi-ethnic society.

Rep Pearce has become a lightening rod for the Open Borders advocates, who’ve taken to smearing him, every chance they get.

Thanks to Jere and Heidianne for reminding me to post a few pertinent links!

Much appreciated!!!
