Film and discussion

Precious Knowledge Flier.pdf

Precious Knowledge-Arizona's battle over Ethnic Studies illustrates what motivates Tucson High School students and teachers to form the front line of an epic civil rights battle--the heart of which is the Mexican-American Studies program in Tuscon's high schools. An alumni from the Mexican-American Studies program and one of the film's editors will present the film and lead the discussion afterwards. Come hear why AZ lawmakers are trying to shut down the program and why culturally relevant curriculum and teachers matter.
