initial thoughts about the TUSD ethnic studies issue. What are the arguments on each side? Who is involved? What other information have you discovered?
The issue coming up at tusd is being blown out of proportion. It has been the same for such a long time that starting something now is just questionable. I personally have never had any problems with ethnic discrimination in any of my classes.
The side that has the most power right now is the side that wants to get rid of the ethnic studies all together. They want to eliminate the program and stop any issues from happening. The other opposing side is for keeping the program. They don't see a problem because it has been fine for such a long time bringing it up just brings up more problems.
The people involved are, tusd and their staff, Tom Horne the attorney state general, Pedicone and Huppenthal. They are all effected differently and have many issues to work out, on opposing and for sides.
I discovered while reading that there are so many different opinions that there is just argument for each side. Cutting tusd budgets is not smart. More problems will arise as budgets are cut. We already experienced this last year and it didn't turn out that well. So many different sides can take place in this issue.
