I agree most with the second as I feel it creates a good environment that does not tell students what their morals should be but rather how they should treat others

Excerpt 2

I agree with this excerpt. Students have the right to have their voices,opinions, and ideas heard. It is also important to have disagreements but still value perspective.

Hi. I like excerpt #3. I like how they mention that Native American history is lost in US history. Cowboys and Indians is one of my favorite subjects and unless you live in the west you really don’t talk about it.

I agree that we should value other students diverse perspectives on topics. Responses should be well organized. Other excerpts make great points, I feel more times should be spent on issues of racism in our history. However, developing the skills of discussion are very important, as it gives students to think critically on these major issues.
