Becky in Tucson, soon there will be my son Dylan in Tucson. He has a full scholarship to UA, and even if all of this had happened before he accept this scholarship (he had two full scholarships, but UA is the best school) I would have urged him to attend.

The responses to this have been across the board. I have always loved visiting and working in Arizona, and I presume that my son will love going to school there and I'll enjoy visiting. And that sooner, rather than later, the feds will reclaim their domain over immigration issues in Arizona, along with elsewhere. It is heartening to see that cities like Tucson protest this absurd legislation about immigration, and one assumes they will also work around the mess of this latest anti ethnic studies law.

We have a several friends in the state, intelligent people who are opposed to all of this nonsense, and he'll join their ranks as a voice for reason.

If Arizona is anything like Texas, the commingling of ethnic groups and race in the high schools today is unlike anything you'd have seen when I was in high school. And it is unlike, I suspect, the environment his father experience in New York City, which has always been more of a melting pot, but probably had a lot more artificial boundaries than today. I suspect the next generation will sweep away a lot of this nonsense as they come into their own, because we raised them to do just that.
