What a load of Orwellian bullshit! (see the sidebar on this site, which includes the resolution)

The Mexican-American Studies (MAS) Department is and shall remain an organizational contributor to TUSD’s commitment to greater academic and social equity for Hispanic Students.

All MAS courses and teaching activities, regardless of the budget line from which they are funded, shall be suspended immediately.

WTF? How the hell does one reconcile sentence 1 with sentence 2?
