As a student, I never expected the place I came to learn would be the same place where I felt targeted, unsupported, and unsafe due to my race. Sadly, thats exactly what happened at this school.
Throughout my time here, I witnessed and experienced countless instances of racismfrom students making racist remarks and jokes to teachers showing clear favoritism and bias. What made it worse was that when these incidents were reported, the principal either ignored them, brushed them off as misunderstandings, or even defended the behavior of those responsible.
It became clear that there was a culture of silence and protectionespecially for staff and students who were part of the problem. Rather than addressing complaints with fairness and urgency, the administration often gaslit students of color or penalized them for speaking up. Watching classmates get punished more harshly or treated differently just because of their race made me feel powerless and disheartened.
This school had the opportunity to educate and create a safe, inclusive environment. Instead, the principals failure to actor worse, their willingness to enable this toxic environmentshowed me exactly how deep systemic racism can run, even in our schools.
Im sharing this not out of spite, but out of hope that future students wont have to go through what many of us did. Every student deserves to be treated with dignity, respect, and equalityregardless of their race. This school failed us in that regard.
