Huppenthal Attacks U of A Ethnic Studies

The Arizona Capitol Times reported this morning that if elected Superintendent of Public Instruction, Sen. John Huppenthal will use his seat on the State Board of Regents to fight against the U of A ethnic studies program.

Democratic candidate Penny Kotterman says that the Board of Regents should not be involved in curriculum. Regent Ernest Calderon agrees the Board is a policy-making body.

Huppenthal, who believes that the U of A ethnic studies program fosters “hateful attitudes toward America," also attacked the U of A Department of Education for being substandard.

Kotterman says that the U of A College of Education does not have a low rank as Huppenthal claims.
