It’s 1998 and the first freshman class of the UC system has been admitted not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. What does Chicano Cultural Studies professor, Rafael Perez-Torres, do about it? Lead a campus wide walkout that either cancels classes for students or dedicates those classes to indoctrinating them on the need for Affirmative Action. Over ten years later, where’s this activist in the classroom? He’s the chair of the English Department. It’s all about raza with this guy, no doubt about it.
