I believe that every student should have good education no matter if they are black or white.
I have several reasons for thinking this. The first being, is that when it comes to schooling everyone does not count. Back in the 1940s to 70s there were violent fights between black and whites. They were fighting about power of ideas. Did you know white kids hated black kids so much? This type of behavior is called racism. I am concerned about Americans still being a racist country. African Americans people are treated unfairly even when they go to schools. I am concerned that black schools have very poor standards of education and how racism is connected to fighting over power.
I also feel that America has limited tools and resources in public schools. African American students are lacking vital things such as books, instruments, fields and AC. How fun is it to play in a field that lacks vital equipment! What about the awareness of safety in a field with no walls and a chance of a stranger, taking away your child? Think how sad you would be?How cool is it to play an instrument that you would never get to touch.
We have several reasons for being concerned. America continues to be a racist country, where people can’t express themselves freely how they want to, because they are being segregated or discriminated. Furthermore, xenophobia is a huge issue in the U.S.A. President Trump is a perfect example of a xenophobic person. He dislikes Hispanic, Asian and African American people. This makes me feel, sorry and makes me wanting to free them from this injustice.
To support my point try to think how successful could someone be in life when they feel left out? I just want to present the idea that although in 1954 the government made law against segregation, there is still a lot to be done. Very few things have changed since then in the USA and every day people are being less tolerant.
My stand on this issue is that how can we stop racism and bad education for black children?
I believe that children and grownups of different races should have the same opportunities.Have you ever thought how amazing your life is? Lets all take action, spread out the word, take part and sign this petition. Our goal is to reach 100 signatures please share with your friends.
The momentum behind this is growing faster than I expected. People are finally starting to pay attention to these inequalities.

Equality of access to education is essential. The world would be a far better place if everyone had a chance to develop skills and learn empathy and tolerance towards others. Thanks for taking this on Nick. Keep up the fight.
