Fire with Fire?

So in Arizona now, it's illegal to teach classes that can be construed as aiming to "promote the overthrow of the U.S. government, promote resentment of a particular race or class of people, are designed primarily for students of a particular ethnic group or advocate ethnic solidarity instead of the treatment of pupils as individuals."

Hmmmm....So, like, does that include the usual Whites-Only history? Can this law be used to force the schools too include more ethnic studies in the classroom?

One can also make the case that an ethnic studies program is designed for ALL students, is not designed to promote resentment but understanding, etc...

in other news, better get ridda that accent!:
