than 3 years ago, FOTM
re-published<http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/2010/05/25/illegal-immigration-and-the-reconquest-of-americas-southwest/>an
article about the ambition of radical Chicanos (Mexican-Americans) to
re-establish the mythical homeland of the Aztecs --* Aztlan* -- in the
American southwest.
Aztlan will be comprised of the states of California, Arizona, Texas, New
Mexico, portions of Nevada, Utah, Colorado -- which Chicano nationalists
claim were stolen by the United States and must be reconquered (*Reconquista
*) and reclaimed for Mexico.
>From the looks of what happened to *Terri Bennett*, a 50-year-old Nursing
student at *Pima Community College (PCC) in Tucson, Arizona*,
*Reconquista*is right on schedule.

*Bennett was suspended by PCC for asking that class instruction and
discussion be conducted in English -- the official language of the State of
Arizona according to Article 28 of the state's Constitution.*
As recounted by Dave Jolly for Godfather
Politics<http://godfatherpolitics.com/11816/arizona-college-suspends-nursing-student-for-wanting-classes-taught-in-english-not-spanish/>,
Bennett was assigned to a small student group of which she was the only one
where English was their first language. The students were supposed to work
together, but all of the others spoke Spanish instead of English and
Bennett had no clue what was going on. The class was asked to fill out
anonymous evaluation forms and on her form, she wrote that she would prefer
that there would be no Spanish spoken in the classroom.

Kutzler]<http://fellowshipofminds.files.wordpress.com/2013/08/david-kutzler1.jpg>Shortly
after filling out the evaluation, Bennett found herself in a classroom
where Spanish was the predominate language, including the instructions and
lessons. In March 2013, she requested a meeting with *David Kutzler*, the
Director of the Advanced Nursing Program, to talk about her difficulties
and to request that classes be conducted in English.
Not only was her request denied, Kutzler suspended her. Not only was
Bennett suspended, Kutzler called her a “bitch and a bigot,” accused her of
“discriminating against Mexican-Americans” and then threatened to report
her complaint as a violation of the college’s policies against
discriminatory behavior and harassment!
The next day, Bennett was called into a meeting with other college staff.
She was again accused of being discriminating against Mexican-Americans.
That means if she stayed at PCC to complete her degree, she would never get
a job afterwards because no faculty would recommend her. Kutzler also
confronted her with anonymously-written "evaluations," which was followed
11 days later with a formal communication from the college -- a progress
report stating that she had "ineffective communication skills."
A week after, Bennett was greeted by college security upon her arrival at
the campus and told that she needed to leave the campus immediately. She
then received a formal letter from the college stating that, due to her
"discriminatory conduct," her "presence on College property [posed] a
significant risk of disruption of education activities."

*Terri Bennett announcing her lawsuit*
Dylan Smith reports for the *Tucson
Sentinel*<http://www.tucsonsentinel.com/local/report/071513_pima_english/pima-college-targeted-by-proenglish-group-over-classroom-spanish/>,
July 15, 2013, that according to a lawsuit filed by Bennett's attorney *John
Munger* against Pima Community College, on April 22, Bennett was
"physically confronted by six armed police officers when she arrived on
campus ... handed her suspension papers and ordered to leave the campus
under threat of armed force."
On April 29, *Dr. Ann Parke*r, PCC's vice president of Student Development,
issued "findings and determinations" that for arguing with an instructor,
complaining about Spanish speaking and intimidating behavior, Bennett is
suspended from the college "until she receives counseling to improve her
communication style and to learn to be less abrasive with students and
instructors."
PCC officials said that Bennett's lawsuit "is entirely without merit" and
that student-privacy laws mean they are "not able to comment specifically
about Terri Bennett's situation." *PCC Chancellor Lee Lambert* also
declined to comment on the specifics of Bennett's claims but bleated in an
email that the college is committed "to creating a positive learning
environment for our students."
