We want to spend today’s class acknowledging the incidents of hate that have caused pain to our BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ community by providing space for you to share any feelings, thoughts, or questions you have at this time.

# data[].attributes.body
Respond to the optional prompts by adding posts below the questions.

They would want it to be known by the whole school so they can combine as a team to work together to solve this problem.

# data[].attributes.body
we can focus more in-class time on educating students about how they can prevent these kinds of situations from happening.

I think that they made a statement because even if just a few people saw it then it still was not right at all because stuff like that can be taken to heart by many people.

Those few people could feel a lot of hate simply just by seeing the message. By creating a statement so quickly it helps get the word around, and to let students know that the action that was occurred is completely irresponsible, and has no other possible outcome other than disrespect.

I think the school would make a statement, because even if not that many people saw it, "a few" is still too many people to have to see hate speech when they use a public space. Addressing the issue to the whole community is a way to show that hate speech is taken seriously and that the school stands with those affected by it.

ignorance is basically doing something without thinking about how others might feel, yes because often people will make ignorant jokes and comments and not realize how their comment effects someone

they can work to validate the feelings of everyone involved, and make sure they know that nothing like this will ever happen here again.

# data[].attributes.body
I think ignorance is a lack of knowledge on a certain topic, which is why some ignorant people can offend minorities or groups. Ignorance can be connected to everything, like lack of knowledge of cars, but harmful ignorance can be associated with race and other topics similar to it.

# data[].attributes.body
Ignorance is when someone is not educated enough to know what's good and bad. Ignorance is connected in some cases because they don't know how much it actually hurts someone.

# data[].attributes.body
the word ignorance means not being about to accept something. I think its connected to racism since many people are ignorant and wont accept that things today are different then 100 years ago.

# data[].attributes.body
It still happened, they want to make sure everyone is aware of what happened so it doesn't happen again. The word spread fast so they want every student to know that they are aware of what happened and they are handling it.

# data[].attributes.body
The school would make a statement even though only a few people saw the graffiti because it was something that needed to be stopped and addressed before it went somewhere else that could be seen by more people.

# data[].attributes.body
surprised and confused as of why someone would actually write this in the bathroom

# data[].attributes.headline
i was disappointed that a member of a  community that preaches acceptance and diversity, would do something like that but i think that the actions that the schools are taking to combat this hate crime keeps that reputation in tact

Events such as the graffiti being found are very serious so it makes sense that they would want to make sure that everyone knows what is going on

# data[].attributes.body
They could just not say anything un-kind

# data[].attributes.body
there should be more discussion about stuff like this in class, discussions about things like this only happen when something bad has already happened, when in fact the discussions should take place without the prompting of a racist/homophobic incident

# data[].attributes.headline
My reaction was that it should not have happened and I was super shocked. I was shocked because nobody in our school community should think that it is anywhere ok to do that because that is not something to joke about and I have friends apart of the LGBTQ community and it could really make them upset and when they are upset it makes me upset.

They can have more club meetings for people that feel like they need to share their voice, opinion and stories. Maybe then people will feel more like a family. Which would reduce incidents like this.

# data[].attributes.body
We can work inside, and outside of school with choosing the words we decide to say, and work harder on educating ourselves.

# data[].attributes.body
i would like to see the student body take action and make it known that it is not okay.

# data[].attributes.body
So people know that it can't happen again.

# data[].attributes.body
Ignorance means not opening yourself up to the struggles of other people or acknowledging anything from another persons perspective. Ignorance is connected to racism because racist comments or actions are people being ignorant to what they are doing to another person and ignorant to the fact that someones race has nothing to do with how they should be treated.

# data[].attributes.headline
i just didn't understand why people would intentionally go out of their way to be mean and how they thought of vandalizing a school bathroom as a fun/funny activity

I think that continuing to have the zero tolerance for thees kinds of things can help people feel more welcomed and that someone is sticking up for them

Sturgis is labeled as a more inclusive and accepting school, which I think is true most of the time, but I was disappointed when I heard about the incident. It goes against everything Sturgis believes in, and is very disappointing.

# data[].attributes.body
So that it doesn't happen again where more students will see it

# data[].attributes.body
I have only recently learned about the event and I feel shocked. I had not had proper time for it to really hit me but initially I feel disappointed. I'm disappointed that we live in a time that this still occurs. I'm disappointed someone at Sturgis decided to write this in a public place and targeted people who are often face hate. I am not a person of color but I am a member of LGBTQIA+ and it disappoints me. I expected better from the community and now I don't know how to feel.

# data[].attributes.headline
I think students in general should work on not being bystanders to racism, and white students need to get more confrontational when our white peers are being racist, because it's a lot safer for us to get involved before a student of color is harmed.

We can work on educating ourselves in and outside of school on these topics

i feel a lot of people are doing what their supposed to wen it comes to accepting people and ect. but i don't know how much the SB can affect a student that doesn't seem to care

I would like to see the student body make what happened known and make a statement that it is not something that is ok and people need and will be consequenced for there actions.

# data[].attributes.body
We could just tell people on why racism is bad and why people shouldn't do raciest things.

# data[].attributes.body
Help educate people who don't understand, and to the people that are purposefully harming others, they should be taught that things like that are very serious and not ok.

# data[].attributes.body
If only a few people saw what happened doesn't make what happened any less punishable because the person who did it needs to be educated and realize that what they've done has consequences and the hurt they are causing to other people isn't okay.

# data[].attributes.body
Ignorance is lack of thinking about the outcome and influence of a persons actions. This is connected to racism because racist comments or actions taken against a group of people are often made by not thinking of the outcome or influence they will have on that community as a whole.

# data[].attributes.body
Sturgis would make a statement because the graffiti targets people who often get attacked. The school needed to make a statement because people part of these communities need answers. People saw this and could be affected by it, and people are affected by just hearing about it. It also needs to inform others that this is not okay.

# data[].attributes.body
Ignorance is not only not paying attention to what is happening but also not being mindful of how what you say and do can affect people. I think that ignorance is connected to racism because racism is not just hating a certain group of people, but it is also just not treating them just the same as everyone else.

# data[].attributes.headline
They can show that what happened is not ok and maybe like west did put up the sticky notes with the caring words around the bathroom and maybe even the school and just with that it can show that we are all here for each other.

My reaction to finding this out was mainly confusion, I cannot see what a person would gain for doing this, therefore there was no reason to do it.

# data[].attributes.body
Sturgis needs to make sure that people of color and people are LGBTQIA+ voices are heard and are made aware their thoughts matter. Give class time to spread awareness about the history of hate towards them. Post positive messages throughout the school. Sturgis should let people who are affected know there are resources to help them (people are there if they need to talk).

stuff like this happened a lot at my old middle school, I thought that as we got older that childish stuff would stop but clearly there are still kids without discipline and its honestly sad becuase i thought all the stuff that happened in the past years wouldve showed how serious this issue really is but i guess some poeple still think its a joke.
