REPRESENTATIVE MONTENEGRO CHALLENGES RACIST DEMOCRAT RANTING

Apparently Rep. Steve Gallardo went off on a rant on Republicans who had photos of Hispanic children supporting school vouchers on their desks. Come on Gallardo, my boyfriend has four half-Hispanic kids. Does that mean he can't post photos of his own kids on his desk because he's a Republican? Rep. Steve Montenegro's response is below.

REPRESENTATIVE MONTENEGRO CHALLENGES RACIST DEMOCRAT RANTING


STATE CAPITOL, PHOENIX (March 5, 2012) – In a response to the incendiary remarks made to the Arizona Republic by State Senator Steve Gallardo , House Representative Steve Montenegro has released the following statement:

What is appalling and disgusting is that State Senator Gallardo views the Republican led Legislature’s efforts through a twisted and discriminatory prism of a brown vs. white universe. Access to the best education our state can offer should be made available to all children regardless of race or income. Over the objections of grand standing race baiters, Republicans are providing an escape from failing public schools and should be applauded for their efforts. 100% of the scholarships awarded by the organization opposed by Mr. Gallardo (the Arizona School Choice Trust) goes to low income children. The vast majority of students that receive said scholarships are Latinos. The divisive and hateful rhetoric espoused by Mr. Gallardo is a perfect justification for the dissolution of classes that incite racial hatred amongst Latino children. Proponents of those programs seek to create a new generation of radicalized and racially segregated youth. Mr. Gallardo would do well to remember that his oath of office binds him to serve all citizens of Arizona and not just those bearing the skin colors of his choosing.
