Newtie's Dream Act
by digby
Arizona's primary is February 28th. if he hangs in there, I'd imagine Newtie has a good chance to win it. Romney may appear to be more hardcore on paper, but Newt tickles the sweetspot with his emphasis on English only and making kids clean toilets to teach them a lesson.
In a page right out of Newt Gingrich’s alternate-history science-fiction wingnut-polygamy utopian epicCandyland Space Land, the school district in Tucson has completely banned Mexican-American studies, seized all the textbooks and even wall posters from the classrooms, and punished the students who protested by sentencing them to janitorial duty.
It's true. They're banning books about Mexican American history and making Mexican American kids clean up if they speak out against it. In America. Today.
