All Students Should be Educated on Different Situations of Power

It’s important to teach all students about figures of authority, how the law works and who should be respected, and how to behave in different real-life situations. The reason for not merely teaching acceptance to minority children is that every student deserves a chance to be enlightened on the different aspects of the world’s cultures. It doesn’t make sense to cater their education to a pre-assumed idea of what they’re going to amount to be. Just because they come from minority families doesn’t mean they don’t have a chance to potentially work in an environment with majority citizens or possibly even work up to owning a big time company. Teaching to stereotypes reflecting behaviors they are already familiar with doesn’t broaden their horizons and doesn’t give them a sense for what it takes to work in a different environment than what they know. It’s important that all students be prepared to respond to different situations of power and respect since their future is not set in stone. Minority students shouldn’t have to accept that they will never be able to succeed in a realm where they might have more control over people or hold more power. They need to know how to act in those situations so they can succeed in areas outside of the classroom.
