Racial Issues at Parker
The issues that have been happening at parker are a shocking to me. Our school, which is very keen on educating people about racial fairness, had issues in small groups talking about diversity? When everyone was told we were shocked. But yet, they still didn't tell everyone exactly what happened. How can we prevent something from happening if we do not know what has happened in the past? I heard lots of outrageous stories about certain kids targeting other students and faculty members. People were being named who I was friends with. Also arguments were being thrown around about how it was being handled. One of the opinions was that kids shouldn't be asked to discuss diversity without adults present. Diversity is a hard topic for anyone to discuss without anyone overreacting or getting offended. Another opinion is that kids should discuss it because it is the way to make progress themselves. The way that makes sense the most is that kids should be able to discuss it and it is a hard topic but it should be guided so no kids could start rumors and such. That was the case at the small groups, kids said something that got twisted around to a racial comment.
