White Power? I don't think so Options

[JerzDevil]

There are some pretty crazy, f**ked up people in my school. They be wearing t-shirts everyday that says white power in big letters (A group of like 9-10 people) and I'm sick of it. They think they are so superiror and that whites rule us. That is not true. One kid was like screaming "f**k NIGGERS, CHANKS, JEWS, WHITE POWER!!! '' .. and I just wanted to get up and beat the holy living out shit out of him. I don't care if you guys backfire at me calling me a "whiner" because it's true, and there's a reason for this, and I'm sure most of you have something to say about this. The principals and staff don't even know about this, my school needs a major change.

A lot of people are telling him to make a change around the school, but everyone here should know from experience that students have virtually no say in what goes on in school. Thats the job of the administration. If these kids are wearing clothes with racial slurs, the administration is either ignorant to whats going on around the school or they know what is going on but they dont care. There isn't much anyone can do.

Yeah. That's why when everyone at my school was angry about the crazy lunch schedule our admins had come up with, I stepped forward and talked to the assistant principals about it and they let me speak to the boss man, so I went forward to the principal and ended up getting it reformed into a better schedule. I also wrote the Franklin County School Board (county school district I live in) a letter, when they cut our breaks to more than half the time we had before, about how stress and time are directly related to the potential learning ability of a high school student and I continued to push the idea. I got it changed back. That was one of the reasons I was elected to Student Council.

Don't ever underestimate your voice.

I know speaking your mind and standing up for what you believe in can go a long way, but thats not whats happening here. Your problem was the kind that the administration wouldn't know about if people didnt tell them. But in this case, the administration shouldn't have to be told about a bunch of kids with shirts saying "White Power" and yelling out racial slurs. If they were doing their job they would have noticed it. Either that or they know what going on they wont even try to stop it.

So who can you really tell at that point? The teachers who aren't doing their jobs which is paying attention to the students, or the principals who just dont give a damn?
