This is great news! In November 2012, Juarez, a 41-year-old urban planner who had never held elective office, won election to the governing board of the Tucson Unified School District. His victory, along with that of educator Kristel Ann Foster, shifted the balance of power on the five-member board. Last month, the new board voted to bring several books about Mexican American history back into Tucson classrooms. . . .As to those who disagreed with his defense of Mexican American studies, Juarez likes to answer with a quote from Cesar Chavez: Preservation of ones own culture does not require contempt or disrespect for other cultures.
