I HAVE TO TELL YOU, THAT THIS GOES ALONG WITH SOMETHING WE ARE STUDYING IN MY TCE CLASS. ONE OF THE TEACHING METHODS. THAT I FORGET THE NAME OF BECAUSE I ACTIVELY BLOCK THIS CLASS OUT WHEN I'M NOT IN IT. FOR REASONS I'VE TOLD YOU BEFORE. BUT. THERE'S AN ASPECT OF IT THAT IS VERY AGAINST MULTICULTURAL STUDIES AS RUINING THE NATIONAL CURRICULUM AND MAKING EVERYONE DUMB. WHICH IS BULLSHIT. BECAUSE THE ANSWER TO THAT IS NOT "NO CULTURAL STUDIES" BUT "MORE CULTURAL STUDIES", SO THEN EVERYONE'S GOT AT LEAST A FOUNDATION OF WHERE OTHER PEOPLE ARE COMING FROM.
ALSO, LOL ARIZONA. ALL CLASSES ARE WHITE STUDIES. UNLESS IT'S BLACK HISTORY MONTH, AND THEN THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS WILL READ A PICTURE BOOK ABOUT THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD, AND THEN DO A LITTLE PLAY OF MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.'S LIFE. AND THEN WE GO BACK TO WHITE STUDIES IN THE NEXT CLASS. WHICH HAS YET TO INCITE AN OVERTHROW OF THE U.S. GOVERNMENT BY IT'S NON-WHITE MEMBERS AND CITIZENS, WHICH ACTIVELY BOGGLES MY MIND. SO. ARIZONA. PLEASE BE SHUTTING UP NOW.
Wait, what the fuck? How the hell are ethnic studies ruining the national curriculum? Is your teacher actually on crack? Jesus Christ. I kind of want to meet him over Winter Break just so I can scream at him in person.
Yeah, I usually go lolol Arizona until I'm like STFU AND STFD Arizona. :||| Oh my gosh, that is so simultaneously hilarious and depressing, because your description is SO FUCKING ACCURATE. That is pretty much exactly what elementary schools do.
that's now my teacher's philosphy, it's a teaching philosophy standpoint. patricularly of Allan Bloom as it relates to Essentialism. Also, a little bit of E.D. Hirsch. so, these are the people that we draw on mainly in structuring American education.
THAT'S WHAT MY SCHOOL DID. white people filled the history books, black people were in the picture books. Or, if there is any mentions in the history books, it becomes its own chapter. Like in my TCE class and we had to spend three days talking about black history because, well, every other day was going to be talking about DWEMs. Which is why we have specific courses that cover family life of other ehtnic groups in america because, it's not included BEFORE college.
The argument for no culture studies in that philosophy is that it doesn't matter, or some bullshit that i've blocked out in a rage spasm. OF COURSE IT MATTERS. this is from the same people who say we need to learn history and draw lessons from it. Well. OTHER CULTURES HAVE HISTORY TOO, YOU JACKASSES.
wait, so, miss usually has a better knowledge of the legal system thatn i do, is there a way to overturn this on a legal basis? I can't think of anything of the top of my head because, for some reason, no one thought to include Amendments about how laws can be overturned on the basis of jackassery and stupid. Why they overlooked this, i will never know.
(we were talking about the defense of marriage act in class yesterday and i almost cried from the stupid. I loved the one girl who raised her hand and went "wait. if they really wanted to be defending marriage, why wouldn't they just make divorce illegal? That doesn't make any sense." And then my teacher just starts laughing and was like "exactly! it makes no sense. and other states not upholding marriage licenses issued to same sex couples in a different state completley violates the Constitution. But the law doesn't care about that.")
It was a really smart PR move by the Arizona government, to be perfectly honest. This move came right after the explosively controversial immigration law, so of course it got overshadowed. :\
But anyway, I'm glad you know now! :) Thanks for reading, and try to pass the word on?
