An interesting chapter that talks about the discriminations of previous generations in the, now, primitive school system. Going into the Mexican american experiences of education in the old common school system, you notice right away that such disciminatory acts against a certain race of people is plainly not acceptable in today’s generation. Although, it is hard to totally eliminate such thoughts and biases completely. So my question is: Do races still get discriminated in our school systems today? It is hard to really analyze the word discrimination in today’s society as well. People have the ability to fight for their beliefs more than ever and so many topics are very sensitive, especially when it comes to schooling.
Earlier posts mention that this is america, the land of opportunity and freedom. Although, to be devil’s advocate, Americans even in searching for freedom pushed out Native Americans in a harsh manner. It is hard to say that discrimination is something that can be nullified. During world war two, we segregated japanese americans in internment camps. No society is just or fair, and so discrimination will always occur on various levels. In my train of thought, at this current moment, leads me to believe that discrimination can only be suppressed and never forgotten.
