Come to the MCC on 12/2 at 7 pm to watch this important documentary on student empowerment, student activism, and the role of conscious educators. The Intercultural Engagement Center will be providing refreshments and snacks! This event was made possible through the collaboration of the Intercultural Engagement Center, the Hispanic/Latino Faculty Caucus, the Latino Association for Student Organizations, United Students Agains Sweatshops, and Feminists for Collective Justice.

PRECIOUS KNOWLEDGE illustrates what motivates Tucson High School students and teachers to form the front line of an epic civil rights battle. While 48 percent of Mexican American students currently drop out of high school, Tucson High's Mexican American Studies Program has become a national model of educational success, with 93 percent of enrolled students graduating from high school and 85 percent going on to attend college. However, Arizona lawmakers are shutting the program down because they believe the students are being indoctrinated with dangerous ideology and embracing destructive ethnic chauvinism.

PRECIOUS KNOWLEDGE is a co-production of Dos Vatos Productions and the Independent Television Service (ITVS), produced in association with Latino Public Broadcasting (LPB) and Arizona Public Media, with funding provided by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB).
