Racism In Schools

After the protest in Oregon City High School revolving around the three racist social media posts; people can no longer reject the idea that racism is still a massive problem within modern society. If we want to stop racism within the schools of Oregon City, then we are required to work with each other in making sure the environment around us includes every race, to expose people to the dilemma of discrimination, to stop using racial slurs, and stop people that are.
Although each of the above will work well, the best solution is not to stop racists, but to stop creating them. We can still try to convert current racists, or try to stop them and their unacceptable ways, but what we need to do, and what would work better, is to understand
The root cause being that kids are picking up the wrong morals through observation. Participating in and supporting anti-racist and anti-bigot community events, protests, rallies, and programs will help you learn a great deal about racism and the current events happening around it, but they won’t generate a movement. Though they do an excellent job spreading the name of racism; they don’t stop the problem. The only way to erase racism is to slowly weed it out of the generations; practically to stop teaching the next gen of kids to be racist. The main reason that the next generation of kids is racist is the following reason, “children are mostly unaware of racial categories or racism, until they are taught to think and act consciously in ways that reproduce race...most researches still think that children who use racist language do so out of naiveté or ignorance.” says Dr. Manning
We can fix this mindset early on by making sure to have open discussions with young ones on the topic of race and cultures and making sure that they are not only knowing about different cultures but experiencing them. Doing team bonding activities with other races, and having their colored peers teach them what their culture is like, will also help extremely since we will be changing their environment to one where they interact with every race equally, which will carry on into their later life and overwrite the one that doesn’t include such behavior. They will be able to connect with the other races in a way that will cause them to want to protect each other for the friendship they build.
Not only that, they/we can teach them what words and expressions will hurt another race so that they will be able to understand when they hurt the other; since most kids won't understand something is rude unless they are taught that it is wrong we also need to pay attention to this. They will become color smart. Everyone will be able to recognize that they are exactly the same as everyone else just a different color, and that “separate but equal” will never truly be
