New ruling on affirmative action
I am an educator. I can’t imagine how Supreme Court has devastated millions of students' desires and dreams and without feeling guilt! I am not African American but I am a preschool assistant teacher.I never learned in my schooling that depriving others can make me happier or more powerful. I feel sad that my students who must be getting ready to apply to go to reputed colleges or universities would not be able to go to enhance their learning, to fulfill their life’s mission of uplifting their own and their families socioeconomic status.
I also think, now it is extremely important for all schools including preschools to prioritize their focus on motivating all diverse group of students with more kindness, to value them as eager learners and give them all needed help.I want all students of diverse and multilingual families to be treated respectfully everyday across the nation. After the Supreme Court’s recent ruling, families need more support to help their child to be more focused to extend their thinking capacities.
We have to commit to igniting minds of students( particularly students of black and brown color, to enable them to have their full potential. I believe that teachers have the ability to inspire them. My earnest desire is to ensure that future leaders of this country don’t fall short of their responsibilities to represent all the citizens and create opportunities for advancement for all not for any special group.
