Social Injustice

The issues we discussed this afternoon on our beginning encounters of race was really interesting. We had a few students in our high school who were African-Americans and completely accepted in our school as one of us. They were treated respectfully and to my knowledge, not treated as being different.

Many interesting comments were made today in regards to social justice, especially when most of our post-it notes mainly focused on race and sexual preference, but not on any other issues of social injustice. I do believe that discussing racial issues in the classroom are more common than discussions of sexual preference. I think it is an uncomfortable subject to most, that people just sweep it under the rug.
