Here’s Elisa Meza (with U.N.I.D.O.S) and Mike Ludwig (who’s been covering the ethnic studies debate in Arizona for Truth-out.org) on the battle to preserve Mexican American Studies in Tucson public schools, how the ethnic studies debate tends to get misrepresented, and why that’s wrong.
For the latest on the fight to preserve Mexican American Studies in Tucson public schools, Elisa recommends the Three Sonorans blog.

Truthout is funded almost entirely by readers — that’s why we can speak truth to power and cut against the mainstream narrative. But independent journalists at Truthout face mounting political repression under Trump.
We rely on your support to survive McCarthyist censorship. Please make a tax-deductible one-time or monthly donation.
