411 Words2 Pages
The organization we chose is called DSC, and it stands for Dignity in Schools Campaign. DSC created certain rules to provide for school to use to help end student push-out, and protect people from discrimination. Push- out is a systemic factor that discourages young people because of racism. We chose DSC because what they have done really affect, influence, and help students.
They support state and local campaign and share information on solutions to end push-out that exists in schools. Also, DSC also advocates federal policy that change the zero- tolerance discipline. They wanted to change the zero- tolerance policy because school can use it as racism to suspend and expel students who are discriminated against.

Since the students couldn’t read or speak English proficiently, the Supreme Court ruled the SFUSD had in fact denied them their right to equal educational opportunities that were afforded to them under Section 601 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Section 601 was the sole basis for the Supreme Court ruling in favor of the students of the SFUSD. Section 601 states individuals may not be discriminated against based on race, color, or national origin in any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance. The Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) clarified Section 601 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. HEW issued guidelines for school districts to give students of a certain race, color, or national origin an opportunity to achieve the same education

The continuous action of student walkouts on March 6 through March 8 in 1968: gained momentum as 2,700 students from Garfield, 500 students from Roosevelt, 15,000 Students from Lincoln, Wilson and Belmont decided to join the Student Walkout movement. The ties between political and militant activist Chicano groups began to formulate their demands through the formation of the Educational Issues Coordinating Committee (EICC) after the board of education decided to listen to the student’s demands of school reformation on March 11 in exchange to halt the progress of student walkouts. According to the “East L.A Blowout: Walking Out for Justice in the Classrooms” students identified thirty-eight demands to the Los Angeles Board of Education. The demands proposed by students were a set of reformations that the students wanted the board of education to consider like new school resources, Chicano school representatives, the freedom to practice their traditional language which in this case meant of allowing Chicano students to speak Spanish in school facilities but unfortunately not all demands were met because the board of education claimed that there wasn’t enough funding for Chicano programs. From another point of view, the government was not the only groups that was against student movements but also middle class Hispanics.

In the first article, Editorial•Stop the school-to-prison pipeline, it starts off by using the young man as an example of the many children who fall for the school-to-prison pipeline. The young man has seen the men in his family go to prison and even though he does not explicitly state it, you can tell he is worried about what his fate will be. This is shown by his quote, "Every man in my family has been locked up. Most days I feel like it doesn 't matter what I do, how hard I try—that’s my fate, too. " I believe that if one sees something done by someone close to them, they will react to what is seen, which is what mostly happens with these kids being talked about in this article.

Humane is a term created by man and its fairly ironic that we use it to describe proper treatment of others. In reality the majority of people are selfish and cruel. In all summer in a day the class room full of kids wanted to play without their teacher who simply wanted to see the sun for a minute without waiting another 7 years. The kids blatantly disregards her wants and needs and locked her up while they went and played in the sun.

INTRODUCTION “We conclude that in the field of public education the doctrine of ‘separate but equal’ has no place.” -Chief Justice Earl Warren Separate But Equal, directed by George Stevens Jr, is an American made-for-television movie that is based on the landmark Brown v. Board of Directors case of the U.S. Supreme court which established that segregation of primary schools based on race, as dictated by the ‘Separate but Equal’ doctrine, was unconstitutional based on the reinterpretation of the 14th amendment and thus, put an end to state-sponsored segregation in the US.

Although, discriminatory discipline overtly plays a significant role in pushing youth particularly students of color out of the classrooms and into the pipeline, this shines a light on the fact that our public school system is failing our children regardless of race. While a faulty public school system can not foster students educational development nor prepare students to be responsible citizens who lead economically and socially productive lives. Therefore, stopping the bleeding of school-to-prison pipeline is merely a prelude to a much larger social justice challenge—the right to quality education that constructs the well-being for all.

courses in college that have opened up my mind to the issue. The more information I learn about this issue, the more surprised I am that our society still exhibits bias, because as much as the United States preaches about equality, it appears as if society has segregation in minor ways. Although the debate between whether there are biased questions on the SATs or not seems to favor that there aren’t by popular opinions, there is still biased behavior occurring in school systems that prevent certain groups of students from getting the proper resources needed. Because I would like to work in an low-income area, which most likely would contain minorities, as a teacher I would make the effort to help those students get the sufficient help needed. This motivates me to become a part of the education field, because caring teachers are much needed in area like this.

By the end of my speech, 212 underprivileged children around the world would be clenching their stomach and wobbling from garbage dumps to garbage dumps, searching for half- eaten food. 5 children in India would leave school to work in a dilapidated undergarment factory for 14 straight hours, enduring whipping, and pain just for 3 bowls of rice. 3 children in Africa would be dead after being beheaded by heartless invaders. The power to change this situation lies with every one of you present today. Basic necessity such as food, basic education, security are few of many things that underprivileged children lack.

Henry Ford once said, “Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress. Working together is success” (Brainy Quote). From here, the concept of inclusive education, including students with and without learning disabilities as peers in the same classroom, originated. The aim of this type of education is to get students with learning disabilities involved in the society. Teachers and fellow students will also provide help for students with disabilities; in this way, students with learning disabilities will be motivated to study as they feel that they are a part of a group instead of being isolated in special places.
