Hurray for Illinois. I reside in a foreign state. I reside in California.

I am sorry....you'll have to be clearer for my poor feeble brain. What are are saying....relate it to the topic of this DB.

I approve of it for one reason. My B.A. in English was all but useless, and "Ethnic Studies" are even worse. Out colleges should be preparing their students to get an actual job, and English barely does that(I went into education and it was STILL all but useless.) "Ethnic Studies" wouldn't even be that valid in education, much any other real job. If the person wants to learn about his or her "ethnicity," then that person certainly can, but that's a specialty area only a few would care about. The school can point them where to look and then get back to the useful work. danielpauldavis 43 months ago Please sign in to give a compliment. Please verify your account to give a compliment.

Sent home because the principal thought they might be in danger from Mexican American students resentment? 43 months ago

This is nothing new --- It's just another lame attempt to paint Arizona in a negative light, by the anti-illegal immigrant groups. 43 months ago
