Racism and Discrimination within Public Schools

Our students should be able to obtain an education in a safe environment no matter what color they are.

About Me =) January 19, 2008

   I am a 22 year old Comparative Ethnic Studies (CES) major from Seattle Washington.  My first major of interest was Elementary Education, but I felt that learing about different issues involving many different kinds of people, cultures, traditions, and more, was something that I needed to become a successful school teacher since I plan on teaching in a largely diverse community.  I will be able to spread my knowledge to many young children and hopefully help to start them off on the right path to becoming successful young men and women.  Some random stuff about me…I two two kitties T’zymba (Simba) and Martinni, my favorite colors are chocolate brown and blue, and I hate snow.  As mentioned before I am from Seattle…the real one (not from the areas around it…LOL).  Some of my hobbies are running, cooking, watching Food Network, watching good movies, and reading (though this does not include text books).

    hello. I am a student in california, and am working on an essay about education. it is about unequal access of educations and so i have to form my opinions and find a solution. So i chose the topic of transportations. i have been doing some research and i cant find data or stats on who takes the buses. news on getting rid of transportation because of economic challenges and or replacing with hybrid buses show up but i wanted to argue that work force by law requires equal employment and requires a number of mini=orities to be working in a business so that its not one race dominated business and that it is fair, but why cant schools be like that. it is said in reports and studies that school are resegregating, so many black and hispanics are bunched together in “their own school” and white americans are sticking together even if there is a school around their block. so distribution of students of race and religion would help students accept one another, bring somewhat better budget for school supply materials and teachers. thats my main but I am not a writer and cant really bring out an arugement but i was wondering if you knew if school buses were and are helpful to the student and education?

    I watched your video. Do you mind my asking? What is your background? I know that question, in and of itself, probably seems biased. Your insights are on point and the issues you bring up are extremely relevant.
    What I see in public schools is an apathy on the part of parents to address a lot of the covert discrimination that still exists today. I am a parent of two children (entering middle school) and I am the type of parent to speak up. But, I feel like I’m met with a certain “disregard” by the administration. It frustrates me a great deal. Any suggestions?
