- The History, The Present, and The Future of the Librotraficante Movement.As the tension over banned books, CRT, and ethnic studies heats up, we take a look at the past, the present, and future of the #Librotraificante movement. 10 years after Arizona lawmakers tried to ban books and ethnic studies in schools, a new wave of legislation and outcry swallow Texas politics.Dan Patrick recently held a press conference attacking job security for professors at Texas public universities. He also proposed going after professors who teach Critical Race Theory.This mumbo jumbo is vague for Kindergarten through 12th grade, where CRT is not taught. However, Patrick has crossed the border of higher education where the book "Critical Race Theory" can be part of a course, especially at higher levels. Worse, Patrick needs to clarify if he believes Mexican American History and African American History count as CRT in his opinion.Is he attacking Mexican American History and African American History?These are the topics that get swept up in rambling definitions of CRT. So Dan Patrick needs to reveal if he thinks Mexican American and African American History fall into his definition of CRT.www.tonydiaz.net/blog/does-gop-tx…consider-mas-crtThis takes place as the Librotraficantes prepare to mark the tenth year anniversary of the Librotraficantes Caravan which defied the banning of Mexican American Studies by officials in Arizona.This is a Latino Politics and News Multi-Platform Broadcast across social media.You can hear us on 90.1 FM KPFT, Houston's Community Station.You can watch us at www.Fox26Houston.comThanks toRoxana Guzman, Multiplatform ProducerRodrigo Bravo, Jr., Audio ProducerRadame Ortiez, SEO DirectorMarc-Antony Piñón, Graphics DesignerLeti Lopez, Music DirectorBryan Parras, co-host and producer emeritusLiana Lopez, co-host and producer emeritusLupe Mendez, Texas Poet Laureate, co-host, and producer emeritusWriter and activist Tony Diaz, El Librotraficante, hosts Latino Politics and News and the Nuestra Palabra Radio Show on 90.1 FM, KPFT, Houston’s Community Station.
