Key points: Student post a picture holding up a sign with a racist comment written on a poster, which resulted in other Oregon City students planning walk outs to get their point across about the racial slurs. Students are standing up or walking out in this case for what they believe in.
Audience: Teachers, Students, Parents, and administrators
Relevance: This is very relevant due to the racial discrimination that has been going on all across our country recently. Students are now taking their own action regardless of age to prove their point against racial acts.
I loved the initiative that the students showed, and the support of the school that allowed the students to express themselves in a peaceful show of civil disobedience. For too long, students have been run through the mill of education without really understanding what their education will do for them. This is a wonderful example of unity, equity, and the use of information to create or sustain a greater good. Bravo, students!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Patt in that I love the support of the school in allowing the students to stand up for what they believe in, peacefully. It's nice seeing the students come together to show that they will not tolerate this kind of behavior.
