Why do we need Ethnic Studies? The Answer is Simple.

We need to learn historic ethnic studies, whether it is African, Muslim, Asian, Latino, Hispanic, Native American and South American, so we as a community of people can learn about our past so we can learn how to come up and rise and move forward and take ourselves to another level and build a better future. We also need to learn about our identity and how we were put on this earth. Ethnic Studies are also broadens minds in different ways. As I said before people, ethnic studies and history can be found in the subjects of geography, different grade levels of social studies, language arts and literature, science, and psychology. Several people say that there shouldn't be any classes called Ethnic Studies, there should be one class, making history from different kinds of ethnic backgrounds into one kind of history. BUT in my opinion, when it comes to the history, community, and social studies school textbooks, the information written by the authors who are teachers and professors doesn't either tell the truth or there is not enough infomation that students need to know. Teachers say that knowledge is food for the brain. So people, lets stop feeding the children left over crumbs and lets start feeding them a descent full meal. Because honestly, if it weren't for different kinds of people from ethnic backgrounds and different countries, there wouldn't be a country called United States of America. Also, there wouldn't be various kind knowledges that we now have today in America. People from different ethnic backgrounds (including Native Americans) literally build America of what it is today. So lets protest the new education curriculum in the state of Texas, because it use to be part of Mexico and you can't rewrite true history. Let's protest hb 2281 and save ethnic studies. Knowledge is Power!! Ignorance is NOT an option for America!!! Let's make true education a right for America!!!
