Essentially in two pages the association outlines the problems with the law. The best part, IMHO, is the note that the law encourages an "ecology of fear." I would add to that it also exacerbates an environment of hate. It allows people who already exhibit covertly their fear or hatred of others peoples in such a way that legitimates via the state.
Add to this that AZ has now banned Ethnic Studies. Yes, my friends, the state has decided that Ethnic Studies should not be taught. Right around the corner are the book burnings, banning of any Spanish names, and the pinata badges that Latinos will be forced to wear to "mark" them. I am being facetious here, but what do we think is next? Other states have noted that they want to implement similar measures. There is more going on here than a fear or concern for state security.
Will your state, province or locale be next?
