A proposal to overhaul New Mexico's social studies standards has stirred debate over how race should be taught in schools, with thousands of parents and teachers weighing in on changes that would dramatically increase instruction related to racial and social identity beginning in kindergarten.
FARMINGTON After spending the cold-weather months in storage, Aztec s painted pianos will be rolled out this weekend for a season-opening event in the downtown district.
The four pianos that were donated to the Big Sound in a Small Town public art project before being painted by local artists will be joined by three new pianos this season. The instruments will be displayed, and played, from noon to 6 p.m. Saturday, May 8 at locations up and down Main Avenue, including the plaza on the north side of Rubia s Mexican restaurant, 116 S. Main Ave.; the 550 Brewing taproom, 119 E. Chuska St.; and at the Vanilla Moose, 1721 W. Aztec Blvd.
