The Governor

Gov. Jan Brewer is quickly becoming my favorite governor in the United States. Few leaders would have the temerity to sign a bill into law banning courses in "ethnic studies," which is nothing more than cloaked language for anti-American, anti-Western indoctrination in our schools. Watch the left go into conniptions over this one. From CNN:
(CNN) -- Fresh on the heels of a new immigration law that has led to calls to boycott her state, Arizona's governor has signed a bill banning ethnic studies classes that "promote resentment" of other racial groups.

Gov. Jan Brewer approved the measure without public statement Tuesday, according to state legislative records. The new law forbids elementary or secondary schools to teach classes that are "designed primarily for pupils of a particular ethnic group" and advocate "the overthrow of the United States government" or "resentment toward a race or class of people."

The bill was pushed by state school Superintendent Tom Horne, who has spent two years trying to get Tucson schools to drop a Mexican-American studies program he said teaches Latino students they are an oppressed minority. There was no immediate response from the Tucson Unified School District, the law's main target.
