Reason Magazine - Hit & Run > Russell Pearce: American Hero:
"Rep. Russell Pearce, the excitable Arizona legislator who called McCain's immigration bill "treasonous," has a new idea:Arizona public schools would be barred from any teachings considered counter to democracy or Western civilization under a proposal endorsed Wednesday by a legislative panel.

Those groups would be forbidden from operating on campus.
