There are some Oregon High Schools who are now adopting MEXICAN high school curriculum to help with the influx of Mexican students. Maybe I’m not smart enough to understand something. Is Oregon in the United States? Or Mexico? If it is in Mexico, well, I think that’s just fine to introduce Mexican curriculum. However, if Oregon is still in the United States, well, then I have a problem with Mexican high school curriculum in American high schools.

Some Oregon high schools are adopting Mexico’s public school curriculum to help educate Spanish-speaking students with textbooks, an online Web site, DVDs and CDs provided free by Mexico to teach math, science and even U.S. history.

The Oregon Department of Education and Mexico’s Secretariat of Public Education are discussing aligning their curricula so courses will be valid in both countries.

Similar ventures are under way in Yakima, Wash., San Diego, Calif., and Austin, Texas.

“Students come to us with such complex issues,” said Tim King, director of Clackamas Middle College and Clackamas Web Academy, where a virtual course using Mexico’s learning materials got started this week.

The key word here is: Mexican curriculum!! Hello??!! I can understand helping out students who are from another country. What I cannot understand is having a whole curriculum for them, creating more strain on an already strained education system. When our forefathers came here, they had to ASSIMILATE into the society, not the other way around. We should not have to adapt to the immigration problems by making it easier for them not to ASSIMILATE into our society. No wonder why, at these illegal immigration rallys, you see more Mexican flags than U.S flags!
