Ignorance means ignoring something important and the way it connects to racism is the people that are racist ignore the fact that others have feelings.

The word to me means to be selfish and center focused. Ignorance can be connected to racism cause it excludes a group.

A few bad people can have a much larger negative impact than a few good people can have a positive impact. Additionally, there are probably other people with similar beliefs who thought about committing such a heinous crime but didn't because they were worried about being punished.

Because somebody still wrote something on the wall and somebody could've been hurt by the comment.

I think ignorant is connected to racism because people who are racist are ignorant to how the society is now and is a social reject.

# data[].attributes.body
The word Ignorance means too me that, people just care about themselves and not others and think that everything that doesn't have to do with them Is "ignorant" and yes ignorance definitely connected to racism, people just think about themselves and not others lives feeling just totally disgusting.

# data[].attributes.body
To me, ignorance means that you aren't aware of what is going on and therefore don't know what you are doing/saying. Ignorance is related to racism because if you don't know that you are being racist you won't know to stop.

# data[].attributes.body
its disgusting seeing in 2021 a high-school student would do that.

# data[].attributes.headline
When someone is ignorant, to me, that means that they are selfish and don't really respond or care about what people think. I think it can be connected to racism because ignorant people don't realize how their words or actions can effect a person.

It is so easy to do, so easy to pursue. Unfortunately it is used way too often and towards topics that need more awareness. Racism is a serious topic and doesn't get talked about enough positively.

The student body at Sturgis should spend more time looking into who did it and also use it as a way to learn

# data[].attributes.headline
I think that it's just embarrassing who who ever did it. It was immature especially since they're in high school.

It is very dissapointing that people are still doing racist things after BLM and PAL happened

# data[].attributes.body
made me feel, embrassed of our society today, can't believe someone would want to embarrass and disgust themselves like that.

Because it is inappropriate for a person to do stuff that might affect others the few people that saw it.

Ignorance is being unaware and unknowing, oblivious of something. I think it is not an excuse for racism

# data[].attributes.body
Ignorance is the lack of knowledge or care about a certain subject. This can be due to lack of education or experience, but I also believe ignorance can be a choice out of our own free will to reject the truth. Ignorance is definitely connected to racism because, at the root of it, it is an issue of hatred in our hearts. If we understand and became fully aware of the effects of racism, we would learn to act differently and work against it.

# data[].attributes.body
Teach more about the topic and idea of racism and how we should learn more about why we shouldn't do it.

# data[].attributes.body
We can stop racist acts by punishing those involved and by showing as students that we do not think such actions are cool. This will mean that anyone who thinks about doing something racist will decide against it after realizing that they wouldn't want anyone to find out.

# data[].attributes.body
Because even if a few people saw it the racist word is referred to a big race or population

# data[].attributes.body
People who grow up, who are surrounded by discriminatory parents or relatives, will probably become discriminatory also. Because they spend their entire lives with people telling them false information about people, to make those people seem inferior. That is ignorance believing in infermation that is wrong.

# data[].attributes.body
Knowing something but choosing to ignore it

# data[].attributes.body
Ignorance means to be ignoring/unknowing of something, which can effect the person who is being ignorant. I do believe this is connected to racism because people who are racist can usual be misinformed to get them to be this way along with just blatantly disregarding the consequences of there words or actions.

It was like a punch in the face from reality. It is all still real. Somehow, people still use racial slurs towards the POC. It's so normalized and disgusting. When will people learn to respect others and their cultures, their nationalities, their origins? When will people take more awareness to the fact that things are changing and society should too.

# data[].attributes.body
The school made a statement to make sure everyone was aware that what that person did was bad. They also wanted to discourage anyone else who might of been thinking of doing something like that.

# data[].attributes.body
I was surprised. Then I felt horrified that someone would ever do such a thing

# data[].attributes.body
When I learned about the racist graffiti found at Sturgis West, I felt angry. I felt annoyed at the fact people in the world think promoting racism is funny.

Educate the students or make a punishment like expelling the person or student

# data[].attributes.body
We can try to find and punish the perpetrator and we can show that we don't support what they did.

# data[].attributes.body
Spread awareness

# data[].attributes.body
If just a few people who commit an inappropriate act are not punished for it, other people will think its okay to do the same.

# data[].attributes.body
I would like to see people speaking up if they know who did it and also i would like to see people supporting those who the comments were against.

# data[].attributes.body
Topics like these are not to be ignored. They are not to be humorous, to be hidden. If someone wrote that and got away with it, if the school did not do anything, they would have the chance to do it again. Maybe more publicly. this topic is sensitive and to be taken seriously. The schools right in taking more action and the person who write it should learn what their mistake was.

# data[].attributes.body
The school made a statement even though few people saw the graffiti because they wanted to bring attention to the issue. Talking about what has happened is one way to act against racism as a community.

# data[].attributes.body
We can make everyone aware of how it is wrong and give everyone the courage to speak up if they see someone being racist to tell them to stop and that its wrong.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the school as a whole should come together to find out who has done this. It is a schools job to prepare us for the real world, and punishing the students who did this will teach them why their actions are not tolerable.

# data[].attributes.body
I am disappointed that high school kids in 2021 still promote racism and homophobia. Frankly it's embarrassing if you think it's ok to hurt others for their identity

# data[].attributes.body
We as a community can make sure that the people who were negatively effect/ discriminated against still have support sources from faculty and students

# data[].attributes.body
I want the student body to be kinder. To be sweet, at least to be friendly. I want everyone to feel accepted, to feel like they belong.

# data[].attributes.body
The person or people that did that, are not just dumb for not thinking of the consequences, but also just bad people. My feelings have not changed, because people who do discriminate are not just idiots for believing in very false information but are inferior because they beleave other people are inferior.

# data[].attributes.body
we can find who did it and have them stop the racism. They can also help and support those harmed by it by showing that they care and that they are actively doing something about it.

# data[].attributes.body
I want people to know the Origen behind these slurs. I want them to know why they aren't appropriate or used commonly. They are words that hurt. They are derogatory and so, so, so insensitive.

# data[].attributes.body
We can stop these racist acts by continuing to spend time as a class to address why what has happened was wrong. Talking about racism sparks up a conversation that leads to a change in the actions.

# data[].attributes.body
although the incident seems small it shouldn't be over looked or swept under the carpet. And voicing these problems is the start of correcting them and addressing its negative repercussion

# data[].attributes.body
Sturgis can continue to raise awareness about what has occurred to help students learn how to better demonstrate kindness and love. We need to make sure that the groups targeted by the graffiti feel safe in our school.

# data[].attributes.body
they should find out who it was and announce that they will be facing repercussion for there actions, but refrain from naming who it was, so that they don't get the attention that they were originally aiming for

# data[].attributes.body
Sturgis faculty should put this incident on the student's transcript and tell others this is the applicable punishment for such insensitive and derogatory actions. Meaning when they are applying for college and jobs, the communities they are attempting to join see what type of person they really are. That way they don't get the attention from the school/ peers but they feel the long term affects of harassment.

# data[].attributes.body
We should have like a seminar thing where they teach us about microaggressions and the history of slurs/ how racism exists today.
