BREAKING: Office of Civil Rights opens investigation into TUSD school board for civil rights violations!

The US Department of Education, Office for Civil Rights (OCR) Denver, Colorado, has opened an investigation into TUSD1.

This news comes on the one year anniversary of the TUSD Tragedy of May 3rd, 2011, where John Pedicone militarized the school board meetings, closing access to the citizens and ordering the arrest of seven women, including 69-year old Mexican American History Professor Lupe Castillo.

The Civil Rights Center, Inc.(the CRC), an Arizona Nonprofit Advocacy group headed by Executive Director, Silverio Garcia Jr., filed a RACIAL DISCRIMINATION complaint against the Tucson Unified School District #1 on January 17, 2012.

According to Silverio Garcia Jr., “The hateful, anti-immigrant political climate in the streets of Arizona has created a climate of irresponsibility and complete disregard for civil rights on federally-funded TUSD1 administrative offices, school facilities and/or campuses and this is the basis of the federal complaint.”
