Racism in Schools

People say that everyone is born equal no matter what race, color, or gender they are, but is that entirely true? Racial discrimination has been a major issue for thousands of years and continues today. The thing is, no matter what age you are, avoiding it is not an option. You can see it in the news, on the streets, or even in school environments. School is a major source of racial discrimination. Back in the day, People would not be able to use the same water fountains as people of different races so they wouldn't get their 'disease'. Imaging being prohibited from using the same bathroom as a different race. There would be signs all over the hall way saying whites only, no pets, or blacks not allowed! No person should be put through this pain no matter who you are. Blacks and whites should be able to share the same public places because they are all human beings.

In school environments, teachers would even discriminate against race. If there was a white teacher, they would purposely fail students of different races to make them see like less. It's unfair for blacks to be treated like lower class citizens even by adults. Teachers are someone students look up to, and if they see them discriminating, whites students will most likely do the same thing.
