Another Reason Why Ethnic Studies Needs To Be Saved

After all the accomplishments made by them, will people of ethnic backgrounds ever be considered as equal in America? Well, answer my question. If you say yes, then why is the majority in the states of Texas and Arizona are trying to "whitewash" their education curriculum? If you say "no they're not" then thats BS. We need to learn about our Native American, Hispanic, Latino, Muslim, Asian and African people and ancestors from the past because they are the reasons why we are able to recieve an education by going to elementary, middle, and high school, and finally college or university. They are the reason why we are able to sit and stand in the same places, in the same areas, and use the same public restrooms. They are the reasons why we can drink from the same water fountain as the white people and they are the reason why children of all ethnic backgrounds are able to wade in the water when they are in the same swimming pool with white people. They are the reason why we are able to walk on same street as white people. Education brings dignity and self-respect! We all came a long way, baby! And we can't give up now! Love and Peace 2 u all!

Carry this math problem with you at all times:

Education + Knowledge = Empowerment + Freedom
