The school would and should make a statement if only a few people saw the graffiti because even if only one or two people saw it it could impact them and to make sure it doesn't happen again.

To me, ignorance means only caring about yourself, and not really caring or thinking about how that may affect others around you. I do think that ignorance is connected to racism because lots of racism stems from carelessness and hatred.

The word ignorance to me means that you're almost oblivious to other people, and how something you could do, say, write, etc, could effect them. I also think it means that you really don't care if what you're saying is hurtful to others, and don't feel the need to change how you act.

ignorance means to be selfish or not caring about others. I think it does connect to racism because if someone is racist then they are ignorant.

I was sad to hear that somebody said that. I am still disappointed that we have racist people but I feel like the school is controlling the situation nicely.

if you see/hear something just confront the person or let a teacher know

# data[].attributes.body
it means being stupid i think it is connected to racism since people have stupid stereotypes

# data[].attributes.body
To me, ignorance is ignoring problems or issues because they don't affect you. Ignorance is connected to racism because people who are ignorant ignore the struggles of marginalized groups and treat them as if they are less important.

# data[].attributes.body
it was surprised people still act like that in 2021

# data[].attributes.body
I was shocked that someone felt the need to express their feelings towards something like that, and disgusted. I don't see why people would ever do that, it doesn't make sense to me at all.

# data[].attributes.headline
i was not really bothered by it because someone is always going to do stupid things like that we just have to find a way to ignore it

The school made the statement because it doesn't matter if only a select few saw it, everybody should know that doing things like that is not acceptable.

To me, ignorance is someone who isn’t with todays concepts, that everybody is accepted and there should not be any discrimination or hate, these people could be unaware of how most things that were “norm” 20+ years ago are no longer a normal thing, people don’t have to hide who they are anymore, or live in fear, and these ignorant people are the last barrier that is keeping us from reaching that. ignorance could also be when a person is aware of the changes of our current state and culture but still refuses to change, may it be because of fear, hate, or not being willing to change.

# data[].attributes.headline
I think that ignorance is the inability to have knowledge on a topic/s. By this I mean someone who is careless or not worrying about something.  If someone where to not know that a global crisis was going on they would be ignorant.

Ignorance is not acknowledging something out of emotional connection. This happens a lot when talking about racism.

Ignorance means to be of complete ignorance of something, either purposefully or accidentally. The word is connected to racism because many people refuse to educate themselves and therefore remain ignorant.

I think to spread awareness, that some people are still acting in these unnecessary ways. If nobody else knew, then it would make others oblivious that people still feel the need to express their hatred for something that does not deserve it.

Disgusted, angry. Why in todays world, we are so close to being the generation that cleans up these past messes and changes the bad. Why would you ruin that? I just want to ask that person. Why?

I was surprised and also disappointed that someone would do something so disrespectful.

To me ignorance is only caring about yourself and not anyone else. When people say hurtful stuff about race and sexuality they don't think how they could hurt other people.

For me ignorance means to not care about what happens to others and only begins to care when something happens that could potentially effect them. I think that racism is connected to ignorance because people ignore the difficulties that go on in other peoples lives until it effects theirs so they don't know how their actions can affect others.

It's honestly sad that we still have people who think this way, but ultimately there's always going to be that one person who's full of hate.

Small or not, it needs to be noticed, and stopped before it gets worse, this is not a joke at this point, this is quite literally hate. It is good this had light brought onto it.

We cannot really stop it completely, but we can keep putting the idea out there that this is not okay and will not ever be okay. We can also make sure that people in these communities feel safe and heard.

Sadly, there is nothing that you really can do now. I think that if we educated people on this, there is still going to be people who were raised to think of certain people a certain way. Sometimes you just can't change what others think.

We cannot control other people, and therefore there is no way to complete stop racist acts. The best thing you can do is educate yourself and others on these topics, and listen to people of color when they speak.

In a whole, racism cannot be stopped, but we can talk about it enough, and stand up to it, do what is right to do for the people. At sturgis, we put out a message to know that, we are people who are open to change and acceptance

# data[].attributes.body
you cant really stop it because it is not just changing someones actions but also how they think, which they get from their environment and unless you change their environment then you cant get rid of the racism
