Race is something that makes people unique, can bring people together, but can also be a reason for opression. I think that when it comes to race, education is one of the most important factors to avoid oppression. I think that it is extremely important for race to be taught in schools. Not only the history of race but also how race plays a role in today’s current society. Often times a lack of education leads to racial offenses or misconceptions. Because people are so often influenced by what their parents tell them, the past and present history of race being taught in schools is a way for children to get a perspective on race as their brains are still developing. Especially in today’s age, there is plenty of media to watch or read that focuses on race.
