Summary
Recently our graduate students in Chicana/o studies demanded courses on anarchism from the department. The response of the faculty members was that it was not within the purview of our area of studies. If we taught anarchism then wasn't it fair and logical that we should teach the various strains of Marxism?
What is perplexing with Chicana groups is the continuing habit of forming encounter groups. On the campuses at least they are the majority of Chicanos and Latinos. To some degree they have taken over groups such as MEChA. You would think that they would act like the majority and take over every Latino group on campus and then form a concilio de mujeres to change the university culture by pressing a progressive agenda.On countless occasions I have suggested to female faculty members that they collect a $100 a semester from each Chicana/o studies faculty member and use the seed money to start a Chicana Center to work with students terrorized by boy friends or their families. This would go beyond encounter groups. They would empower the young ladies through example.See the full content of this document
