Precious Knowledge, is an incredible documentary detailing the events that occurred in Tucson High School. To encourage Mexican American students to attend school and graduate, the High School implemented a Mexican-American studies program that allowed students to learn more about their culture and origin. The program turned out to be highly successful and did indeed increase the attendance and graduation rate of the students, with many of them rekindling their love of learning. Unfortunately however, many people opposed the ethnic studies program - concluding that it was “anti-American” that installed anti-American values into the students; for example, Benjamin Franklin not being shown in the most positive light. This reached Tom Horne, the Superintendent of Public Instruction, who was also against the ethnic studies program, and he proposed and succeeded in passing a bill that prohibited the program. The remainder of the documentary consists of the teachers and students protesting the bill and attempting to prevent the bill from being passed.

In Tucson, Arizona ethnic studies classes caused controversy over what kinds of classes should be allowed in Tucson’s public schools. The Latino population of students was greatly being effected by only a 50% graduation rate. The ethnic studies curriculum was created to engage students with a history from a different cultural viewpoint than what was usually taught in public high school. From the outside of the classroom the opposing forces against ethnic studies believed that the hidden curriculum within the classes was detrimental to students. This was because it was teaching anti-American beliefs along with creating students who would act with rebellious beliefs and racism. From inside the classroom the teachers and students look to their curriculum and insist that their curriculum was more about having courage to examine history, create understanding and respect for one another and one’s self. They believed in looking at problems that the world was facing and not just accepting them but also trying to make a change for the better. The problematic readings were grounded in the courses use of the "Pedagogy of the Oppressed” with ideals that are based in teachings like Marxism.

Ethnic Studies is a course that offers minority students the chance to learn history from an “alternate Perspective” that is not to say that ethnic studies teaches kids radical, or extreme ideas, but rather teaches them about the unsung heroes of history which are easily forgotten in modern day History courses. It Allows students to discover their true identity and reconnect with their culture. However, some people don’t see it that way. Their are those who oppose the implementation of this course into public schools, Mostly Conservative Republicans. Critics of the course claim It promotes “racial separation”, “linguistic isolation”, and “racial preference.” Others will also claim the course is to “emotionally charged”, and influences kids to rebel against the government, essentially turning them into Anarchists.

In his “Open Letter to the Citizens of Tucson,” Tom Horne explains why he believes ethnic studies should be banned. Horne explains what happened at the Tucson magnet school when a Republican Latina came to speak. Tom Horne writes, “Her speech was non-partisan and professional, urging students to think for themselves and avoid stereotypes. Yet a small group of La Raza students treated her

There are many African American public figures, who have inspired the hearts and minds of eager Black youth. These individuals have instilled within the community a sense of purpose and promise which has carried over into following generations. Some of these persons are household names and familiar pop culture icons. Many, however, are the unsung heroes who have continued to work in the shadows, while bringing others into the light of hope. One such individual, Dr. Calvin Williams, began his journey on the concrete slabs and in the dilapidated houses of New Orleans, Louisiana's Lower Ninth Ward.

The Wellesley 100 is a list full of bizarre, innovative, and inspiring characteristics of a world class college. I stumbled upon interesting things in Wellesley’s community such as the beautiful Lake Day- a campus activity I would love to participate in- or the hci lab- proof of the innovation that I can become part of once joining Wellesley’s community. However, what really caught my eye was #29 and #16- Adam Van Arsdale’s forensic anthropology class and traditions, respectively. I was particularly drawn to these two things because they focus on traits that are fundamental in my life and an absolute must-have in my future college community.
