I agree that it is ridiculous that people are being discriminated based on who they are. It’s not right for this to be happening in a school where everyone is supposed to get an equal opportunity to succeed. I feel like as a society, America is slowly realizing how racist or discriminatory they were in the past, but some people are still not getting how wrong it is to treat someone differently based on how they were born.
