Arizona is also coming under criticism for new anti-immigrant measures in its school system. Arizona lawmakers have passed a measure that could shut down a Mexican American studies program in the Tucson school district. The measure bars classes “designed primarily for pupils of a particular ethnic group” or that “promote resentment toward a race or class of people.” Republicans have criticized the program, which allows students to learn how ethic groups have influenced history. Arizona’s Education Department has also ordered schools to remove teachers who speak English with a heavy accent or who use ungrammatical speech.
