</font>Join us for a screening of Precious Knowledge with panel
discussion and student performances! <br>
<br>
This film focuses on the journey of high school seniors in Tuscon,
AZ as they fight relentlessly to maintain the Ethnic Studies program
that state lawmakers attempt to and ulti<span
class="text_exposed_show">mately eliminate. Despite the
overwhelming academic success that students of the Ethnic Studies
program yield, key representatives in the state legislature
believe that the program teaches victimization, racism, and
sedition. Key themes of the film include social justice, critical
pedagogy, and civil rights. <br>
