Today on Flashpoints: We conclude our three-day special broadcast from Tucson, Arizona: We’ll speak to a teacher, and leader in the ethnic Studies program, who reports that white teachers in support of the new ban on ethnic studies, are turning in their colleagues for “Breaking the Teaching Ban” and stealing evidence so they can be prosecuted: Also we’ll feature an-depth discussion with noted human rights activist attorney co-chair of Coalicion De Derechos Humanos on the many kinds of violence Brown people face in a state reverberating with guns and unchecked racism: we’ll hear more sounds from a collage recorded at Monday’s March to remember the life and times of Martin Luther King, and also about an anti-war protest and civil disobedience that took place after the march at a Local air-force base..
