It is amazing how institutional racism is still something that is a problem in the educational system.  The indirect racism that happens in schools is baffling especially being in the age we are.  The trained eye has to be able to see it though cause some people could stereotype and just say that the African American kids or the low-income family kids are just causing trouble.  In actuality, the teachers are a reason in which they act the way they do.  Treating someone differently because of there race or gender does not seem to make any sense.  People now a days preach equality and everything but if we cannot do it in the educational system, where children spend most of their adolescent and teenage years, then how do we expect them to learn what the true meaning of it is?  I think workshops for teachers should be demanded in order for them to learn what not to say and what not to shy away from when talking to their students.
