Seems like an oddly particular study to mandate all students to take for graduation. Basic computer or writing skills seem more practical for a college student.

Given the demographics of LA, seems like a pretty solid idea.

You can require Chicano studies and still require writing/computer skills.

If you had taken a Chicano studies class, you'd know why that's an impossibility

Higher education has never been about practicality in recent history.

Not many white people at UCLA, this is so Asians and Indians learn about Latinos
