I think its a good thing though I'm not sure how well it will work. A boycott effects the places doing the boycott as well. Appararently we got ties to Arizona that if we clipped would lose us a lot of jobs too. We'll see if Newsome and the Governator really go through with it.

You're probably right about Newsome. In the end it is an issue that plays well here. I lived in AZ for about 9 mon. when I was a kid too (it felt like ten years to me). It was the whitest place I have ever been. My junior high school had litterally two black kids who were brother and sister and I never saw them interacting with anyone.

Lots of Southern transplants there as well. I guess we shouldn't be surprised the 21st century Bull Connor should be in AZ.

By the way, is there anywhere you haven't lived? You mentioned living in NY in the other post and AZ in this one. What were you, some kind of army brat?

Bull Conner was a police chief in Birmingham who tried to oppose martin Luther King Jr. A real racist! There is some gung ho cop down in AZ that reminds me of him.

That is about it in terms of living there. I mostly grew up in So Cal--that wasteland known as the San Fernando valley. I think the major export from there is porn. I was happy to be out.

Looks like LA is going ahead with the boycott of Arizona. And a good thing too given Arizona's new law intended to do away with ethnic studies courses in Tucson now.

I heard about this; but I was listening to a right wing station and they mentioned all of the outlandish things that people were supposedly saying in the courses, so I wasn't sure what to make of it.

Don't allow yourself to be hoodwinked--its just the usual right-wing smear tactics. Yet another Birther swift-boating! If you listen carefully, most of the supposed comments seem to have come in off-hand remarks and as hearsay. If you have ever taught a class, you know that students easily misinterpret a teachers remarks.

I once taught a class where I said that probably only about one in five of the students would get an A, if things went as they usually do, but that as many could get A's as earned them. I got back the response from one student later in the semester that I had said that none of them would get A's. It's all a travesty!

So I assume that when they said they were teaching them about communist authors they were also exaggerating?

That was actually one of the things that drove me the craziest. They kept on calling the writer Paulo Freire a communist and saying that his book, Pedagogy of the Oppressed is some kind of Marxist recruitment tool. It is so absurd!
