Stars like Eva Longoria, John Cusack and George Lopez are not happy about the state’s new efforts to identify illegal immigrants, or its new education reform, which bans ethnic classes and singles out teachers who speak accented English.

Longoria sounded off on her Facebook page:

What is happening? i feel like i am in a time warp! An aspect of the anti-Mexican hysteria that is getting lost: The Arizona Legislature just passed HB 2281. The previously bill signed by the governor targeted Mexican and Latino immigrants. This bill (passed two days later) goes after Chicana/o Studies, books and student organizations. HB 2281 (bill attacking ethnic/raza studies) states that any course, class, instruction, or material may not be primarily designed for pupils of a particular ethnic group as determined by the State Superintendent of Instruction. State aid will be withheld from any school district
or charter school that does not comply.
