As most people already know, the suburbs is mainly where white folks live at and obviously go to school at too. There aren’t many black or latinos in the suburbs but from the few that there are, they face prejudice because of their skin color. No school is perfect and free of racism, stereotypes, and prejudice because of the history of enslaved black people. I could focus on schools in the city rather than schools out in the suburbs but the reason as to why the cases in the suburbs are more important is because there are less minorities meaning that there are less people similar to you to go to when you have personal problems. I am not saying that people should forget about the racially bias schools in the city because every case is important and should be taken in account.
According to this article, “black students in particular face serious obstacles to advancing education.” For example, black students are sometimes seen as not being capable of handling AP courses just like Leah Stewart. Stewart said that her counselor laughed at her after trying to take an AP course and that she had too much on her plate even though she had a record of being academically successful on her record. Once she was enrolled in this course, she was made part of a club at school that is the “five smart black girls.” In addition, Bethany Beru was frustrated of hearing a non-black teacher saying the N-word so she went to her counselor’s office. Nothing was done so she directly went to her teacher but still nothing was done because the teacher didn’t understand the issue. If there were more black teachers and staff, things would’ve turned out differently but it wasn’t. These issues could be prevented if there were more black teachers and staff members because they would understand and students would feel comfortable to got to them
