Why do we need Ethnic Studies? The Answer is Simple.
We need to learn historic ethnic studies, whether it is African, Muslim, Asian, Latino, Hispanic, Native American and South American, so we as a community of people can learn about our past so we can learn how to come up and rise and move forward and take ourselves to another level and build a better future. We also need to learn about our identity and how we were put on this earth. Ethnic Studies are also broadens minds in different ways. As I said before people, ethnic studies and history can be found in the subjects of geography, different grade levels of social studies, language arts and literature, science, and psychology. Several people say that there shouldn't be any classes called Ethnic Studies, there should be one class, making history from different kinds of ethnic backgrounds into one kind of history. BUT in my opinion, when it comes to the history, community, and social studies school textbooks, the information written by the authors who are teachers and professors doesn't either tell the truth or there is not enough infomation that students need to know. Teachers say that knowledge is food for the brain. So people, lets stop feeding the children left over crumbs and lets start feeding them a descent full meal. Because honestly, if it weren't for different kinds of people from ethnic backgrounds and different countries, there wouldn't be a country called United States of America. Also, there wouldn't be various kind knowledges that we now have today in America. People from different ethnic backgrounds (including Native Americans) literally build America of what it is today. So lets protest the new education curriculum in the state of Texas, because it use to be part of Mexico and you can't rewrite true history. Let's protest hb 2281 and save ethnic studies. Knowledge is Power!! Ignorance is NOT an option for America!!! Let's make true education a right for America!!!

Please Bring Back Nancy Pelosi!!!!!!!!!!!!
John Boehner is a hypocrite because he says he is for the people, yet everytime President Obama invites him somewhere to discuss some of the problems and issues around the country, Boehner ALWAYS has something to do. What can be more important that the issues of the American citizens? If you're not willing to talk or sit down with the President to solve the problems than you weren't for the people to begin with and once again John Boehner is showing poor leadership towards the Republicans who voted for him. What is the real reason why John Boehner in that White House? Also, Boehner didn't even attend the state meeting with the leaders of China about working together. Please somone bring back Nancy Pelosi! Ms. Pelosi did what she had to do as Speaker of the House. She attended several events in order to help the people and she was a true leader and a team player. President Obama was a smart man for choosing Nancy Pelosi. Anytime President Obama pick someone for a job, you can best believe they will get the job done!
Republicans blaming Democrats and Liberals for Arizona's Tragedy
Last week I noticed that Republicans such as Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly have been pointing fingers and attacking the Democrats for what happened in Arizona. Now, I've been interested in politics eversince 2008, and I've been watching MSNBC, CNN, and CSPAN. So far, I haven't heard any Democrats use any messages insinuating violence whatsoever. Now, the Republicans, on the other hand, have been sending out several messages insinuating violence and you can best believe that MSNBC and CNN and everybody else has video info to back that up! Now, what Republicans are doing are very heartless and cruel. They are using the Arizona tragedy as a way to bash the Democrats, Liberals in order to boost your ratings. President Obama, I praise you for going to Arizona to pay your respects to the victims of this tragedy. This will take Arizona a long time to heal. President Barack Obama, you really are a people person! To Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly: I hope people who follow you see your true colors behind your mask!

Happy Birthday Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
I thank God for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr so much! If it wasn't for this man, people of different races wouldnot be able to participate in schools, colleges, and universities. People of different races would not be able to getjobs that they desire. Dr. King was and still is another step up for the multicultural ladder around the world. In my opinion, some young people don't realize how good they got it. Dr. Martin Luther King and other civil rights leadersof the 50s and 60s have worked so hard to get the same kind of rights that white people have. And the people who participated in the sit-ins and those riots, when the pressure of the water was sprayed on them like dogs, the skin must have fell off those people's backs! And these young people who THINK that being ingnorant, stupid, committing senseless crimes and thinking they can get away with it and speaking improper English is cool have absolutely no idea! They in the future are about to get a rude awakening!
