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.
Trump is silencing political dissent. We appeal for your support.
Progressive nonprofits are the latest target caught in Trump’s crosshairs. With the aim of eliminating political opposition, Trump and his sycophants are working to curb government funding, constrain private foundations, and even cut tax-exempt status from organizations he dislikes.
We’re concerned, because Truthout is not immune to such bad-faith attacks.
We can only resist Trump’s attacks by cultivating a strong base of support. The right-wing mediasphere is funded comfortably by billionaire owners and venture capitalist philanthropists. At Truthout, we have you.
Truthout has launched a fundraiser to raise $45,000 in the next 8 days. Please take a meaningful action in the fight against authoritarianism: make a one-time or monthly donation to Truthout. If you have the means, please dig deep.
