Title: Controversy Continues over Ethnic Studies Courses in Arizona
Body: From http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-ethnic-studies-20111120,0,5116540.story?page=1&obref=obnetwork Arizona educators clash over Mexican American studies A new Arizona law aims to ban ethnic studies classes deemed to be divisive, and the state's schools superintendent says Tucson's program is in violation. Teachers and students are fighting back. By Stephen Ceasar November 20, 2011 A state law adopted this year aims to outlaw divisive ethnic studies, and Arizona's public schools chief John Huppenthal will soon decide whether the Tucson district's program violates the law and should be eliminated. In a state known for cultural clashes, the debate over the future of Mexican American studies in Tucson is particularly charged, prompting raucous protests and a host of accusations — of brainwashing, of sloppy academics, of racism. Program proponents say the classes push Latino students to excel and teach a long-neglected slice of America's cultural heritage — Chicano perspectives on literature, history and social justice. Its critics — led by Huppenthal, a veteran state senator elected superintendent of public instruction last year — say that framing historical events in racial terms "to create a sense of solidarity" promotes groupthink and victim hood.

Title: Article: Educator Develops Multimedia Tools To Share, Preserve Ojibwe Language
Body: From http://www.mnn.com/lifestyle/arts-culture/stories/new-home-movies-resurrect-endangered-native-american-language New home movies resurrect endangered Native American language Educator develops multimedia tools to share, preserve Ojibwe language. November 21, 2011 University of Minnesota Duluth education professor Mary Hermes says saving an endangered language goes beyond just enriching the people who speak it. With support from the National Science Foundation (NSF), Hermes is combining the skills of native speakers with video technology to help others, young and old, learn the language in the most natural way. She's doing it by videotaping short movies of everyday situations, from going to a rummage sale to planting a garden to helping out a sick relative. Besides the videos, Hermes has worked to create immersion schools for the language and helped arrange workshops to boost interest in Ojibwe, and other endangered languages.
