Mexican American Studies Department Reading List

Education, Mexican American Studies Department, reading list, Tucson Unified School District

So I managed to track down the full list of “banned” books – they’re apparently not banned but simply moved to a storage facility, and they can be requested by students through the library system, and they’d be available for curriculum. Of course its the curriculum that has been removed. What a bunch of doublethink. Anyway the Tucson Unified School District Mexican American Studies Department will no longer be teaching the following:
