No They Didn't! Arizona Proposal Would Prohibit Race-Based Student Groups?!

OKAY, THAT'S NOT GOING TO FLY!!

An Arizona legislative committee has passed an amendment to a routine homeland-security bill that would prohibit students at the state’s public universities and community colleges from organizing groups based on race. The amendment was approved by the Arizona House Appropriations Committee on Wednesday. It still awaits a vote by the state’s full House and Senate.

The amendment, introduced by State Rep. Russell K. Pearce, a Republican, would also allow state officials to withhold funds from public schools sponsoring activities that “denigrate American values and the teachings of Western civilization.” The proposal was added to Senate Bill 1108, a measure that has nothing to do with education but was intended to allow designees of mayors and police chiefs to serve on homeland-security advisory councils.

“This bill basically says, ‘You’re here. Adopt American values,’” State Rep. John Kavanagh, a Republican, told The Arizona Republic. “‘If you want a different culture, then fine, go back to that culture,’” he said. —JJ Hermes

Yeah, ya’ll tryin’ to get universities in Arizona blown to smithereens.  All OHN readers who attended a PWI (Predominately White Institution), what would happen there if there couldn’t be a Black Student Union, Black Greeks, Latino Student Union, etc.?

Well, We can do without the Black Greeks, but the rest we need!
