Effective January 1, 2010, the instruction of ethnic studies in public schools grades K-12 is illegal thanks to HB 2281, another racist bill signed into law by Governor Jan Brewer. Think of it as a companion piece to SB 1070. Far from targeting just immigrants, however, this bill will undermine the instruction of history for all students, effectively whitewashing the curriculum and writing Mexican Americans, Native Americans and other non-Anglo ethnic groups out of the curriculum.
