“Ethnic Studies is a deep dive into different ethnic backgrounds, not just their culture, but their history," said Julianna Espinal, an 11th grader at Classical High School.
I can see why this might be popular with some students but not at all sure this is a good idea. Who gets to decide which ethnic groups are studied, how they are studied - it can be very divisive as I've heard it is in CA. Better to integrate ethnic studies into ordinary courses such as history, art, government, music etc
Thank you student advocates for ethnic studies. Your future is brighter with your efforts!!❤️👍
