At first this gave me a feeling of outrage in that this principal would want to strip the individuality and culture out of these students. I don’t really understand how a person in their right mind could say something like this. I do understand that the principal wants there to be less racial and ethnic segregation but this is not the right approach to complete this goal. I can’t say that I even agree with any of this, the only thing I can say is that the principal dose not see in anyway raciest because he does not discriminate against any particular race or ethnic group.
I think that Prager has a point in that we judge people too much based on the race and ethnic group. Prager is saying that we need to focus less on our race and ethnic group and more on our common goal of education. This is a good goal but denying people there ethnicity is not the way to accomplish this. I think it is impossible to teach this way because it is seen throughout history that you cannot suppress people’s race or ethnicity.
I agree that its outrageous for a principal to have these kinds of feelings for his students. I think that his school would fall behind compared to other schools, but naybe theres a lot of violence or something at his school that he feels like he needs to chenge. either way, hes doing in incorrectly
