Who would have guessed that Shakespeare was the community organiser who founded ACORN:)
Gee, and does anyone think that the local groups included Shakespeare just to get attention rather than because it truly violated the law? This column reads like a teenager trying to get back at his parents by obeying the letter of the law in order to violate its intent.

While I agree that literary censorship is wrong and stupid, I don’t think that U.S. citizens are nationalist bigots because they want to be protected from our violent neighbors to the south:

The primary duty of any government is to protect it’s citizens from foreign threats, and the Federal government has failed miserably in protecting citizens in the Southwest from Mexican drug cartels.
Is this bill misdirected? Yes, but I can’t imagine the level of frustration in living on the border with a state that has the governmental stability and levels of corruption equal to Pakistan. The border states are on their own to protect themselves while the Feds run guns to the drug dealers. Of the wrongs being committed in Arizona, cutting diversity studies is the least of them.
Thank you, Chris.
If it was censorship, then yes, it would be stupid. If you check the comments, which are full of useful information, you will see that the course of study, and its texts, has been pulled for review.
To see if, perhaps, it’s agitating for the re-conquest of the Southwest, or something.
They are still available in the school library.
But that’s not as fun as “BANNED books!”
Mark, seriously, you’re doing your credibility no favor here.

(who doesn’t actually say ‘furriner’, but does say ‘librul’ in real life)
I wish I could feign surprise that some are more dedicated to Anglo rule than education.
