I'm too lazy to expound on some of these topics right now, so here is just an excerpt of a paper done for a demanding professor. But I did feel like getting some things said about racism, because it is just totally bogus.
Just to throw you for a loop, can you actually define race?
Diversity is an issue that mankind has been struggling with since the beginning of time, and is still evident in our modern day society. From the slavery of the Hebrews by the Egyptians to the genocide that is being practiced even this day in the case of the country of Darfur. It seems humanity is destined to continue a battle that will never be resolved.
What would be the reasonable solution? We have studied the way government works its new ideas into the brains of the American psyche. It seems the best way to make all the changes happen in the shortest amount of time is to get the idea across at the most basic of levels, the educational system. And the logic behind this is not flawed at all. What other institutions are all Americans made to pass through for a mandatory part of their life?
The numbers behind school diversity do not simply reflect on the school itself. If you simply follow the money, it is quite easy to see. The higher percentage of minority students there are in the school, the lower amount of funding that particular school seems to receive. It is also reflected in the surrounding community; for again, the higher percentage the minority in the community, it will also reflect on the school at hand.
Yes, this seems too barbaric to be true in what we like to think of our enlightened society. Should the quality of education be subject to the amount of melanin in a persons skin? Should the community be subject to that type of prejudice? But we are not to be so harsh on them, for it is not very far off where the fabled white man, the one who has been the majority in America for so long is to become the minority. The U.S. Census Bureau projects by the year 2040, the majority of school-age children will be members of minority groups.
