No Such Thing as Too Much Truth: Saving Ethnic Studies in Arizona
No Such Thing as Too Much Truth: Saving Ethnic Studies in Arizona: Curtis Acosta and Jose Gonzalez, la raza program teachers in Tuscon, Arizona, who are profiled in the film "Precious Knowledge" believe that there is no such thing as too much truth. As teachers, their goal has been to empower their students with as much truth as possible. To these teachers, knowledge is power, and their goal as educators is to empower their students with the knowledge to conquer the world. It is this transfer of knowledge and power that is at the heart of the battle to save the ethnic studies program in the Tuscan Unified School District. It is a struggle that has been beautifully captured in the powerful and evocative documentary "Precious Knowledge."?
