Description
Introduction ON MAY 11, 2010, only twenty days after signing a controversial immigration bill that triggered widespread protests, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed HB 2281 into law. (1) Amending Title 15 in the Arizona Revised Statutes and effective on the last day of 2010, the provisions of HB 2281 authorize the Superintendent of Public Instruction to withhold 10 percent of monthly state aid to schools that offer courses designed for students of a particular ethnic group or that promote resentment, ethnic solidarity, or overthrow of the US government. "[P]ublic school pupils should be taught to treat and value each other as individuals and not be taught to resent or hate other races or classes of people," one provision of the law reads.
