Public schools K-12 in Arizona have banned the teachings of ethnicity studies, which
has furthermore brought students to avoid learning those of color that have shaped the
US today. Through taking these privileges away the government has also decided to
end ethnic studies as well in college levels of education. Representative Bob. Thrope
® of Flagstad says, the House Bill 2110 would ban college level learning, classes,
events, and activities. He states, “ Advocates of the bill say that courses that
encourage students to see issues through specific lens - like race, religion, or gender -
foster resentment, not understanding.” Students that learn more about their past are
most likely to rebel rather than follow laws. The article also states that the government
is willing to taking funding out of these programs in order to get rid of the ethnic
studies. Those schools that don’t comply with the bill will lose more money rather than
gain, becoming a negative side of advocating ethnic studies.
What I learned from reading was the reason why the government wants to prevent
students from learning about ethnicities. They believe that students would rebel
against education and adults. What they don’t know is they could learn more from it
and it'll furthermore prevent violent discriminating events.

This will cover the importance of learning about ethnicities and why ethnic studies
should be provided at schools. This is a source that’ll help to my point of why public
education needs to support students more when it comes down to learning about their
background history.

Surveillance at public schools have increased due to the violence that has uprised
in the past couple of years. Traumatic events such as Sandy Hooks shooting, brought
up this attention of need for extra surveillance. But through this increase, it also
increases the division between races, surveillance is seen more in schools with people
of color rather than private schools or public schools that have more population with
white students. Private schools should have more forms of surveillance due to the
higher chances of white children feeling more privileged. Students of color are focused
on more due to their history and reputations that were made through tv shows, and
movies. .

messed up the public education in the Us is but its also helps me understand how
protective it could be to protect the children that fall under this law. It could help but I
feel like I could find something better it doesn't have as much statistics as I would like
it to have.

The public education system is required to help all schools and pay the schools per
student that attends. What the government does is pay certain amount of money
depending how privileged the students are. If the school is surround more with people
of color the government pays less. The government pays less due to see students of
color having less of a chance of getting out of school. It also depends on where the
school is. If the school is held in an area of poverty or wealthy, schools can gain or
lose money. Data information from Center American Progress shows,”schools with 90
percent or more students of color spend a full $733 less per student per year than
schools with 90 percent or more white students.” That's why students are required to
attend school the money often depends on if a student shows up or not.
What did you learn about from this text? The amount of little effort the government
puts in to avoid giving certain amounts of money into education.

money is being put into schools by the government and as to why the government
gives less money to public schools that contain more people of color. This will help me

how public education should require ethnic students how it'll affect students of color
and white people. This article will help lead up to that part of the essay.
