In Tucson, Arizona ethnic studies classes caused controversy over what kinds of classes should be allowed in Tucson’s public schools. The Latino population of students was greatly being effected by only a 50% graduation rate. The ethnic studies curriculum was created to engage students with a history from a different cultural viewpoint than what was usually taught in public high school. From the outside of the classroom the opposing forces against ethnic studies believed that the hidden curriculum within the classes was detrimental to students. This was because it was teaching anti-American beliefs along with creating students who would act with rebellious beliefs and racism. From inside the classroom the teachers and students look to their curriculum and insist that their curriculum was more about having courage to examine history, create understanding and respect for one another and one’s self. They believed in looking at problems that the world was facing and not just accepting them but also trying to make a change for the better. The problematic readings were grounded in the courses use of the "Pedagogy of the Oppressed” with ideals that are based in teachings like Marxism.

European history and British literature are perfectly fine classes in most American high schools, however the government has deemed that Hispanic-culture related classes are unacceptable, despite the positive results shown by the students. The prohibition of the ethnic studies program might revert the student to their old ways of dropping out of high school, which would essentially take away the chicanos’ chance of succeeding in getting a career and obtaining a college education. This is only one example of how minorities may not have equal opportunities as the white majority does due to institutional

“America is woven of many strands. Our fate is to become one, and yet many” (Ralph Ellison qtd. in D 'Angelo). Although this quote may be over fifty years old, its meaning still stands; our country should be made of many different cultures and ethnicities that come together to make one United States. However, this cannot be accomplished if our nation does not allow for different cultures to learn about their own country and hold on to their heritage as well as gaining knowledge on the history of the United States. Thus, Mexican-American studies should not be banned in Arizona because contrary to the belief that learning about other cultural struggles is anti-American, actually focusing on the racial identities within the United States is an important step towards becoming a multicultural nation.

A benefit of AB109 is that everyone in society will be able to find solutions in order to guarantee safety for everyone as well has offering several programs as a resource for training offenders. I understand that corrections is consuming a lot of money and that training offenders is costly which is why I can see how it could become a challenge but it is also an opportunity to bring ex-offenders back into society. Thus, ex-offenders will now know how to work in a certain place because they have experience, knowledge, and abilities to succeed in a real life job because of the training that they received thanks to the programs offered because of the AB 109. Thanks to all of the programs offered ex-offenders that want to turn their life around to become a good citizen in the community will hopefully have more opportunities for him or her to be able to turn from a criminal delinquent or offender to a well educated, hard working, and wanting to succeed citizen of society. This therefore will case a decreasing rate of reoffender violations for the community because these individuals want to better themselves.
