Description
Timothy Yu, Jan Miyasaki, Cindy Cheng, Bao Lo from Asian American Studies will lead this discussion. Earlier this year, Arizona enacted SB 1070, one of the most stringent anti-immigration laws in the country. Few noticed a second law enacted by Arizona: HB 2281, a ban on ethnic studies courses in K-12 schools. Why did Arizona ban ethnic studies? What are the implications for education in Arizona and across the country?
