I do think it is wrong for our campus to post quotes that are mainly from Caucasian men and women. The reason is because I think that many of our students only know people that are famous because we mainly focus on American history instead of other people that are famous for example Tupac Shakir, Biggie Smalls, and Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta. I think that many students in our school need to look deeply into other people other then people that are recognized in educational books. I understand that many people don't really care what I might have to say but many places where mostly one race is residing at like barrios, or the hood maybe a reservation for example. I just think that we should look at unity more on this campus. Also, I think that we should have a ethnicity group on our campus like we can possibly have different races come together and talk about our background. We should have all of the quotes scrabbled up so that there wont be a whole cluster of white peoples quotes, instead it would be a groups of different races.

Posters in the Hall
Today in class, many students created posters of inspirational quotes to share in the hall. However, the students in Study Hall noticed that many of the quotations are from White men even though the people reading the posters are very diverse. We think this is odd. Do you think it is wrong that SPA students just post the words of Caucasian men in our halls? Why or why not?

ReplyDeleteIt's not a bad thing that they mostly put white people up there. They may not know other races that are famous for quotes.
