Tom Horne was, and remains a racist white supremacist cracker Republican (but I repeat myself) who argued that teaching hispanic kids about their true history was somehow racist because it ignored the Dead White Europeans who are all anyone needs to learn about, anyway.

All he really did was get a couple teachers fired, and jhella lot of people fired up.

He radicalized a whole buncha kids, too, because before he blew it up MAS was just another elective class they could take.

They published a whole list of banned books, too removed 'em from the libraries, which sold a hell of a lot of kindle copies.

Uh... actually Zyclon-B is part of Mexican-American history. During the Mexican Revolution, the city of El Paso sprayed Mexican workers crossing the border with the stuff ... supposedly to kill fleas. It led to a riot by cleaning ladies and the City of El Paso had to call on the Mexican Army to help quell the ladies who resented being spied on while taking their "showers". The Germans later requested a copy of the patent used for those showers, btw. (Source: Ringside Seat to the Revolution, David Romo, El Paso: 2006).

How the hell are we supposed to make America great again if there are Mexicans? When America was great there were no Mexicans. Would it be OK to keep the restaurants and just get rid of the Mexicans?

I think it was Milo Yiannopoulos, right after he told us what his favorite hair sparkling gel was.

It wouldn't make sense to anyone who isn't a complete asshole.
