Tuscon Mexican-American Studies Program Head Fired 
---------------------------------------------------



The head of the Tucson school district's embattled and acclaimed
Mexican-American Studies program has been fired from his job. Sean Arce
was dismissed at a meeting of the school district member's board last
night amid vocal protests from dozens of supporters. The Tucson
Mexican-American Studies program was shut down earlier this year
following an Arizona state ban on the teaching of ethnic studies.
