I have not read this law, but have heard interviews with the AZ state Superintendent of Public Instruction (a democrat, btw). The issue is the curriculum, which (according to him) encourages hispanic separatism, and also calls for a return of AZ (and parts of CA and New Mexico and Texas, I bleive) to return to Mexican control.
His argument is if they want to teach that, go to a private school that is not funded by AZ tax dollars. Efforts at the state level to control various aspects of the curriculum itself has been met with fierce resistance, so the alternative was to prohibit such classes all together.
Again, this is only what I've heard in interviews from him. no links, no research, no claims to have looked at the text books myself.
