Arizona Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Horne will hold a press conference today to say why he thinks Tucson’s largest school district should “abolish its Ethnic Studies Department.”
Tucson Unified School District officials say the press conference will be nothing more than a rehash of Horne’s personal politics. And they’ve called their own press conference for a half-hour earlier than Horne’s to say so.

While TUSD’s Ethnic Studies Department has four disciplines with a focus on African-American, Asian-American, Native American and Latino studies, Horne has specifically targeted the department’s Mexican-American/Raza Studies program.”*
