Post 9

A time I witnessed social injustice was in High School. Unfortunately a teacher was extremely biased to my friends in the class who were white opposed to my friends who were spanish. Being our teacher in the High School for two years she taught my graduating class. She was a History teacher but the subject she taught was world history. In class she would talk about imagraint and her strong political views that she called "conservative" but what we all actually saw was racist. She would call students out in front of others for not participating in class discussions enough or if a student who was spanish did not hand in an assignment she would say it in front of the whole class and say "get your act together so you don't fail. Your role in this country is to better it, so do it by bettering yourself." It made me and other students extremely uncomfortable. My best friend in the class who is from the DR we figured out she only did this to students who are spanish, because our other friends who were italian or white who didn't hand in homework or talk in class never got called out. We did an experiment to officially test this out as well. When we came to the conclusion this teacher was racist we told the giudice department and my best friend and other students in the class got taken and put into a new class with a different professor. That professor was the head of the history department and listen to what us students had to say.  He then asked that teacher to resign if she did not the school who fire her and make the reasons why publicly. It was extremely uncomfortable to witness and I found it hard to support my friend  who was going through this because I could not relate. Now if there was ever an event that happen where I saw injustice like that I would support the group who were being targeted and  stand up to that person and make it known that we see the act happening and are not going to let it continue.
