Education Vs Segregation

As a race we always want to learn which is how I believed school was something that would always happen. When schools were first made they weren’t perfect. It took time for schools to evolve to the way they are now. Many people had to help evolve ours schools through the 1900s. However, schools really started making a statement in the 1950s. A wave of immigrants from Europe came to America for freedom and free schooling. However, America didn’t react to the immigrants nicely. The creation of programs that taught immigrant children to be Americans. On top on that program, schools were responsible for teaching skills and knowledge to become apart of the democratic party when they were older. Though school had this system people did not agree

Three major problems starting with segregation. Though brown vs. the board of education had already happened ending segregation in schools. Seventeen states had refused to accept it and made it illegal for any ethnic race from attending school. In 1966 African Americans went on strike concerning their educational opportunities. In 1968 Mexican Americans went on stroke demanding bilingual education, the teaching of their culture and better treatment from white teachers.

Years later in 1990 a revision for the Education for all handicapped people and is still constantly being updated the most recent being in 2004. Overall the law confirms free approiate public education as well as the ability to be educated.

School is not yet perfect but we are so close. Once we as people can figure this out together we will and can achieve 100% graduation rates in
