    Ethnic Studies are important part of the Coachella Valley and it is intrinsic part of the California Education System.

    Students need to learn about all cultures, not just white. Dedicated one month to a culture is not good enough, we need required classes to teach students tolerance and acceptance.

    This sounds very exciting, and I hope our school board can recognize the value of these courses.

    As a member of the Chicano community, I want to see our history and language placed on the same level as the U.S. level especially in communities where the demographics are mainly Mexican, Latino, Chicano, etc.
