Arizona Law Targets 'Ethnic Studies'

from National Public Radio

On the heels of the state's highly controversial immigration law, Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer has signed a new bill targeting "ethnic studies" classes in public schools. The law prohibits schools from offering classes "designed primarily for students of a particular ethnic group" -- or that "advocate ethnic solidarity." Michele Norris talks to NPR's Ted Robbins about the new law.
