PRECIOUS KNOWLEDGE: A RACIAL JUSTICE Film & Talkback
Arizona's battle over ethnic studies in public schools.
Precious Knowledge portrays one of the final years of the highly successful but controversial Mexican American Studies Program at Tucson High School.
The program was a national model of educational success 93 percent of its enrolled students graduating from high school and 85 percent going on to attend college, bucking a statewide trend that saw only 48 percent of Latino students graduating at all. The program taught Mexican and American history, as well as Central and South American literature and culture.
Come. Talkback and tell us what you think!
Do you think that teaching the history of specific ethnicities promotes a sense among students of their own ethnic superiority? Do you think it is important to dedicate class time to the history of minority groups?
This event is free and open to the public.
