Jill Tucker: Palo Alto flip-flops on ethnic studies

"The Palo Alto school district went on an emotional roller-coaster ride over ethnic studies this past week. Administrators first rejected a state mandate to add the course as a graduation requirement — a win for critics of the class — and then days later a contentious five-hour public meeting ended with the school board pushing the mandate through."

Today in Labor History November 6, 1968: Students at San Francisco State College went on strike, leading to what would become the longest student strike in U.S. history. The strike was led by the Black Student Union and a coalition of other student groups (including Indigenous, Hispanic, Philippine, and Asian students) known as the Third World Liberation Front. The Black Panthers and Students for a Democratic Society were also involved. The strike lasted until March 20, 1969. Throughout the strike, activists were violently attacked by the San Francisco Police. The activists were demanding equal access to public higher education, more senior faculty of color, an end to ROTC, and a new curriculum that would embrace the history and culture of all people including ethnic minorities. One of their victories was the creation of the College of Ethnic Studies in 1969, inspiring similar programs at hundreds of other universities.
