In addition, retailers like Target Corp. have risen to the challenge, stocking their shelves with ethnically oriented indie brands once relegated to the salon channel.

Judge says Ethnic-Studies Program Violates Arizona Law

The Tucson school district’s Mexican American studies program violates state law, an Arizona administrative law judge ruled. The judge affirmed a prior decision by the state’s schools chief that the Tucson Unified School District’s program violates a law that aims to outlaw divisive ethnic studies classes.
