Every other Tuesday, GMercyU's Student Government Association meets to update members and students about things on campus. In return, we get to hear from our Special Reps and Club Reps for their updates!
In 1954, the Supreme Court held that racial segregation in public schools violated the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, prohibiting states from denying equal protection of the laws and creating fairness and equality in education. 66 years later, our educational system is systematically racist, with little to suggest that change is on the horizon. From unequal funding to differential treatment by school administrators, minority students do not have the same opportunities as white students because of their skin color.
For years, social activists, governmental pundits, and religious leaders have argued that equality and justice will come to fruition only if citizens are willing to stand and be heard, forcing the advancement of policies and actions that minimize the damage done to minority communities. In the wake of continued police brutality and urban violence, this call for change must not be ignored. With inequality a common problem in education, law enforcement, and the entire democratic process, citizens must be committed to advancing social justice as a permanent part of society’s conscience.
