Hashim chats with esteemed educator from the States, Curtis Acosta. He and his students were the focus of the film "Precious Knowledge" which told the story of the Mexican-American Studies program at Tuscon Magnet High School in Arizona. We go in depth on the significance of the program, the orchestrated backlash against it from reactionary elements of the media and state legislature, and how it, Ethnic Studies, and decolonising the curriculum in general are necessary parts of any anti-racist education.

Decolonising in action: in conversation with Curtis Acosta

Imagine a high school program whose students are 5 times more likely than their counterparts to go to college, and only 1/20th as likely to drop out. Now imagine lawmakers banning that program and attacking its leaders as “un-American.” As Dr. Curtis Acosta explains on this week’s Speak Out With Tim Wise, that’s what happened when Arizona eliminated Tucson’s Mexican American Studies Program. But now a federal court has ruled the ban unconstitutional, giving new hope to progressive and transformative educators across the nation. On this episode Wise and Acosta will discuss the program and the effect it had on students, the racist attacks leveled against it, and the future of radical educational reform in Arizona and the nation.
