Precious Knowledge, by Ari Luis Palos and Eren Isabel McGinnis, portrays the one of the final years of the highly successful but controversial Mexican American Studies Program at Tucson High School.

At Tucson High School, ethnic studies programs have improved graduation rates among Latino students. But some state politicians think ethnic studies promote "racial solidarity" and anti-Americanism. When books are banned and the programs eliminated, teachers and students fight back in a modern civil rights struggle.
