"A state law adopted this year aims to outlaw divisive ethnic studies"

Good.

There isn't a "Caucasian Studies" class covering all the cool shit we've done. If someone tried, it'd be labeled racist.

"But oh, no! If it's not an ethnic studies class, then it's always about White people, already!", you plaintively wail...because you're a dumb shit.

You're a dumb shit for thinking so due to two reasons:

1) If one race can do it and another can't, it's racist.

2) If I went to Mexico, is it my right to demand a Caucasian Studies class since I'm in the minority there? Of course not, because that'd be stupid.

Arizona is the model that all other states should be based on.

I completely agree, I think those classes actually further separate different races sometimes.

I also don't agree with having a black history month because if I asked why isn't there a "white history month?" I'd probably be labeled a racist.

Although, I would like to add that I think we should stick with our core learning classes and gym in school and have shit like this in a volunteer or privatized setting outside of the school day. We suck enough at Math and Science to make things like this class generally a waste of time.

And a waste of time they are. It's also not like we have the money to waste on them.

In reality I don't really feel it's a race issue so much as it is the current environment we are in as a people. A moderate, intelligent voice doesn't get any attention, so the assholes on either extreme tend to get their voices heard.

I also believe there is plenty of reason to learn about other cultures but don't see how this needs to be done with specialized classes. When I was in high school I learned about African-American history as well as some Latin history as well, but I didn't have a specific class for it, it was weaved within the curriculum of my general history classes.

This everybody is a victim shit is getting pretty old, though.

i learned everything i needed to know about races by being forced to live amongst others......that ruined it for me forever and i'm no longer tolerant....there's a reason the Irish are believed to have the Holy Grail

White history is most of American-History and European History. The rest is under World History and 20th century American History. Why they have to segregate Black History I Don't know I think guys like George Washinton Carver and Martin Luther King can stand just fine along side other great Americans. In my mind setting them in their own history is an insult to their merits....

Thomas Edison offered Carver 100K a year to come work for him back in the early 1900's but he turned down the offer. said he wanted to work in education vs the private sector

We have become ninety-nine percent money mad. The method of living at home modestly and within our income, laying a little by systematically for the proverbial rainy day which is due to come, can almost be listed among the lost arts.”

Speak for yourself.

what i'm sayin is 99% of the people fuck up and over spend

Yea, and that's a stupid comment, and gross over-generalization.

PLENTY of people stretch their dollars, save money, don't buy nonsense.....

How can you say 300 million + americans overspend?

Most people I know do not do that.

Then again I'm from the south where people make use of what they got.

there is no empirical data that support any such statements...

fact is that people are spending just as foolishly today as they were 5, 10, 20 years ago.....using credit and spending too much of our disposable income (nobody really saves anymore because they rely too much on pensions and 401k instead)......

Exactly and some spend even more
