A new report from The Washington Post shows just how The Supreme Court’s federal ban hurts students of color.

    We don’t need to right past wrongs. Just continue to be good people and give everyone and equal opportunity. That’s what I do every day. Just be a good person to everyone you see, be willing to share knowledge to those who ask and elevate those around you. I don’t specifically treat anyone differently than others based on “past wrongs”.

    Im sorry, but that’s just a flawed way of thinking and perpetuates a divide.

      No, as the comment you replied to says, people getting into schools through social connections and money while others don’t get in because they didn’t have the advantage of an expensive education is what perpetuates the divide.

      You can individually be a good person to everyone you see equally but that doesn’t fix anything about the systems that don’t do good for everyone equally.

      Wait why shouldn’t we try to right past wrongs when those past wrongs continue to wrong people?

      Those “past wrongs” are still impacting people alive today. When one racer has been given a two hundred year head start, it’s easy to look at the race when everyone’s running and think it is fair.
