Human fights Essay <br />Since I go to school, I was interested in reading about an article in the paper <br />which discussed a school in St. Paul that was trying to become more racially diverse. <br />The topic of racial diversion in schools has been going on for many years now. My <br />mom talks about when the schools were forced to desegregate when she was in high <br />school in the 1960 5 s. t that time, there were v iolept riots and discrimination against <br />other races. It is hard for me to understand this because throughout my school years, I <br />have been joined with lids from many different races. It doesn't sera like that much of <br />problem to me, but I have to remember that I have never been in a class where I was <br />the only white person. <br />I decided to relate this article in the paper to Article 26 of the Universal <br />Declaration of Human Rights. This Article statesthat everyone has the right to <br />education, and education shall be directed to the full development of the human <br />personality and to the strengthening of respect for human rights and fundamental <br />freedoms. It shall promote understanding, tolerance and friendship among all rations, <br />and racial or religious groups. I think that it is a good idea that this school changed <br />their qualifying test so that kids from different races have the same opportunity to get <br />into this accelerated school. I think that other schools need to follow in this process <br />because a blended racial class makes for a better education. <br />By, <br />Josh Farr <br />7th Grade .M.S <br />
