Targeting he who targets you.

I feel like this is very self explanatory on what's going on with Social Security. This stuck out to me because I find this quite funny and very true, because it is time to target those like Rick Perry. Rick Perry targets Social Security, then citizens target you. In my opinion I can see the elderly man as a hero in this cartoon, because he know's what is going on and well, of course, he is not too happy about it. Here's a link to the Home Page page of the Political Cartoon.

Does Stegeman have the right to be hurt?

Video Caption: Ex-board President Mark Stegeman discussing how he feels about being shunned by the democrats. Take a look and see who TUSD has demoted because of his actions and failed leadership.

What is a democrat, what is the definition and does Ex-Board President Stegeman deserve the right to call himself a democrat?

Dem-o-crat (n): a person who believes in and practices the principle of equality of rights, opportunity, and treatment.

Stegeman categorizes himself as a democrat, but his actions have not been at all democratic. Unlike Michael Hicks (who is a member of the Tucson Unified School Districts Governing Board) who expresses his conservative views, Stegeman hides them. Instead of trying to preserve the Mexican American Studies program he chooses to find ways to destroy them. Not only is he: Violating international human rights but he is dismantling a successful program. A true democrat would see that the preservation of a class that teaches cultural history, and boosts up the graduation rate, is a good idea. Not only that but realizes that it’s education and that as a democrat, he takes in mind what the students want. Yes, students because it is their school district and their education. Mark Stegeman is now being shunned by other democrats for the approaches he has taken against the Latino community and his failed leadership.

MAS supervisor continuing racist attacks on MEChA

David Abie Morales writes about attacks on MEChA "TUSD asst supe Lupita Garcia continuing Russell Pearce’s racist attack on MEChA"- Three Sonorans

I would like to start off by giving background information about who Lupita Garcia is as well as what MEChA is. This is my response to the article and the whole situation it explains.

Lupita Garcia is Assistant Superintendent of TUSD and now the supervisor as the MAS program as well. Lupita Garcia was made supervisor by John Pedicone ( TUSD Superintendent ) Lupita Garcias view on ethnic studies was clear; she wanted the classes to be abolished, but she was made supervisor any way. This was a tactic to dismantle the program.

MEChA- Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano(a) De Aztlan, a student organization that promotes higher education, historia and cultura.

In this article it explains how Assistant Superintendent Garcia and Supervisor of MAS is still following the racist attacks on MEChA. Russel Pearce is one of those attackers that claim MEChA as a group that teaches students to be terrorists. Therefore they should be forbidden to be operated on a campus.

I don't agree with the attacks, nor do I agree that they should be banned. I have been involved in MEChA before and never were did i feel like i was being taught to be a terrorist. What we really did was follow up on the news and what was going on. In the MEChA I was involved in at Rincon High School was pretty small but we strives to make a documentation about laws in Arizona.

I also don't agree with Garcia being in charge of the Mexican American Studies department. It is clear she doesn't support them in any way. There is clear proof and she has said it her own self, so why is someone who hates a program, in charge of it? First it was Ethnic Studies in TUSD and now they area attacking MEChA.

It is getting to the point where anything that isn't strictly "American" will be banned and looked down upon. It's still not obvious that Arizona has a rich history because it once was Mexico.
