Congressional Hispanic Caucus Writes Civil Rights Office Over AZ’s Ethnic Studies

The Congressional Hispanic Caucus wrote a letter to the U.S. Department of Education’s civil Rights Office in reference to Arizona’s anti-Mexican American studies legislation. The letter reads in part:

We believe that A.R.S. 15-112 is bad public policy and fundamentally flawed. Using the law to attack the MAS Program, with its proven educational successes, will only serve to exacerbate the already harmful anti-Latino sentiment in Arizona. Arizona is sending the wrong message.
