The newest law signed by Arizona governor Jan Brewer has upped the rhetoric in the brewing conflict between her office and the state's large Hispanic community.
The new law approved late Tuesday is tailored to ban ethnic studies programs run by school districts in Arizona. It's especially targeted against the Tucson school district and its Chicano studies program. The law's proponents say these programs promote division and racism. Others believe this is evidence that Brewer is attacking Hispanics, especially in light of her recent signing of a bill allowing police to more easily investigate if people are illegal immigrants.
