Hello from the Arizona Immigration/Ethnic Studies Protest!
I’m a Certified Instructor and have been an education activist since 2004. I’m certified as a flight instructor, which means I have the same background in education as every other certified teacher in America, and I trained to teach students while they were in life or death situations.
A group of scientists called the Club of Budapest, from both sides of the Cold War, started meeting in secret in 1987 to study how human psychology created different ethnicities, cultures, nationalities, and religions. A lot of other scientists have been working on that also. Their project was basically finished, and all that was left was to get people to learn about it.
I’m working on two video lectures right now. One is about how the NAFTA caused the immigration crisis. The other is about psychology and ethnic studies.
Every book, CD, audio book, and video on this site is a different presentation of the same material, according to what different activist groups are trying to do. Each of them is a blueprint for where to find the information you need to take your struggle into the education system and prove how much of the problem is starting in the school system.
The two resources I have here now that are closest to the immigration/ethnic studies struggle are Zapatista University and Restoring Science to its Rightful Place.
Zapatista University is a full length book about how the NAFTA caused the intolerable living conditions in Mexico that some people are trying to escape and other people are struggling against there. Anyone who’s worked on a farm can learn biology. You can download the audio book for free and read the entire text here. I’ve lived in South America, but my Spanish isn’t good enough to translate an entire book. It’s simple enough writing that anyone who’s Spanish/English bilingual could translate it.

Restoring Science to its Rightful Place is my response to the promise President Obama made in his inaugural address, that we will restore science to its rightful place and transform our schools and universities to meet the demands of a new age. In the video I show what the science IS, exactly, and what it means for immigration, the war, the recession, the greenhouse effect, and the anti-globalization protests.
In my next two videos I’m going to talk about how these big discoveries connect biology to psychology to culture to ethnic studies. They’re being ignored in the education system in America for two basic reasons:
1: A lot of people believe the project can’t possibly be finished already because no one has discovered a law that proves White people are supposed to dominate the world. So they’re still waiting for that discovery to be made, believing we shouldn’t try teaching anyone anything new if it isn’t (their idea of) “the truth”.
2: The U.S. is a post-industrial country, where only about 2% of people work in or around agriculture. Biology is the study of the cycles of life, and in the U.S. not many people see all the parts of the cycle.
Well the scientists who pioneered the field that led to the discovery of global warming discovered that the way we’re using resources is going to lead to a lot of immigration, among other things. The changes in rainfall patterns global warming is going to cause are going to reduce the productivity of farmland. If farmers can’t grow enough food to pay their costs anymore, where are they going to go?
These discoveries were made almost 25 years before the NAFTA went into effect. The people who wrote the NAFTA had college educations. Instead of listening to the scientists who were trying to warn everyone, the people who wrote the NAFTA decided to make the economic system that was causing the problem even BIGGER.
So as a Certified Instructor, my question is: If we know that the way the cycles of life are affecting us is going to lead to a lot of immigration, why don’t we teach that to the people who A: are doing the immigrating, B: already know about all the parts of the cycle, and C: want better educations?
If we’re going to globalize anything, why don’t we globalize education?
If we’re going to talk about immigrants’ rights, why don’t we talk about the right to not be driven out of your home in the first place?
A lot of people talk about how much the U.S. economy depends on immigrants doing the jobs nobody from the U.S. wants to do. Apparently that doesn’t just mean farm labor, landscaping, and housekeeping anymore. Now it looks like that means the next generation of biologists, climatologists, and civil rights leaders too.
