[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m part of a minority myself who also has a “month” and consider myself a progressive But I think it’s a bit strange for Dr Duran to honor “Latino Student Leaders.” Something about honoring students on the basis of their race and ethnicity doesn’t sit well with me.[/quote]

Okay so?

They're Latino STUDENT LEADERS being honored during Hispanic/Latino heritage month. They're not just being honored for being Latino. I'm sure if they have Irish student leaders, they'd also get a shout out during their month.

Find something legitimate to worry about. This is a bad faith argument at its core. This is like if during Black History Month, Duran was honoring Black [b]Civil Rights Activists[/b] and all you heard was the black part. It's a descriptor, not a noun.[/quote]

I guarantee that APS will not be honoring any "Irish Student Leaders" during Irish heritage month, which is a real thing and is in March. [/quote]

Probably because Irish Americans don't claim minority status or advocate under the auspices of being an under-represented community.[/quote]

But what about the Leprechauns?!?!
