i think ignorance means to not think about where someone is coming from, or what someone has gone through in their life. Ignorance is related to racism because people don’t think about how black people have been treated in the history of our country and the hardships that they face.

# data[].attributes.body
ignorance means to not care about anyone’s thoughts or feelings, ignorance can play into writing bad things on the walls because the person who did that was not thinking about how it could affect someone

# data[].attributes.body
ignorance means to ignore an issue because it may not mean anything to you,
yes it’s related but not limited to racism because people choose to ignore racial issues often

# data[].attributes.headline
I think ignorance is the inconsiderate and unknowingness of one. Ignorance is connected to racism because you could be joking or singing a song and accidentally slip out a racial slur. You have to be knowing of what your saying or doing.

Angry, I guess. It doesn't really affect people, and you don't get to judge people for the things they can't control, like gender, race, or sexuality.

# data[].attributes.body
Because even if only a few people saw it, it still happened and it is still an issue thats needs to be addressed instead of ignored.

# data[].attributes.body
it upset me because sturgis is a place for everyone to feel safe and get no hate especially for loving who they want and even just being a certain racial type. i believe that the person who thought this was ok should be expelled

# data[].attributes.body
If anyone saw the graffiti it could negatively impact the school/students.

# data[].attributes.body
Ignorance means not knowing or being aware of something. It's connected to racism because some people may not know that certain things are racist or not know how much it actually effects people who have to experience racism.

# data[].attributes.body
i was surprised since sturgis is usually a very welcoming school and accepting

# data[].attributes.body
the school made a statement because it is important to know that the staff and faculty stands against the messages of hate and want those that were hurt by it to feel safe in the schools community

# data[].attributes.headline
Ignoarnce is someone who speaks about something but has a lack of understanding on that topic. Ignornant people can be racist because they dont think about how black people have been oppresed and they only see what they want to see and they shut them selves off from different opinions

Just by being the way they are which is accepting

# data[].attributes.body
the graffiti reflects on the school negatively and may have made people uncomfortable

# data[].attributes.body
tbh the people who did this clearly have issues and need to be re-taught how to treat others correctly and not use that sort of language.

# data[].attributes.body
so people knew the the situation was being handled along with to create awareness and let everyone know that this wasn’t welcomed in sturgis

# data[].attributes.body
Because it doesn't matter how few saw it, it still affects everyone. It can offend people, and it means someone is thinking these things. It doesn't matter how many saw it, it can have a negative impact on those who did.

# data[].attributes.body
create harsh punishments such as being expelled

# data[].attributes.body
just have a talk and go over how to respect others and not use words like that

# data[].attributes.headline
ignorance is word for choosing to do something that could possibly get you in trouble or lead to something worse

I think by showing that racism isnt tolerated at this school and it will never be

# data[].attributes.body
ignorance is fueled by the privilege to not care about certain issues. it can certainly be connected to racism because so many white people can't imagine the hardships and microaggressions that people of color face in america today.

I think we need for serious consequences so people know it is in no way alright and that there will be serious consequences 

# data[].attributes.subject

# data[].attributes.body
just leaving people alone, don’t bully over things people can’t even control

# data[].attributes.body
provide serious consequences for such actions

# data[].attributes.body
You won't ever be able to stop it from happening but you can make sure that people are aware that its wrong and they will face consequences for their actions.

# data[].attributes.body
I laughed, since the idea of some random kid drawing a slur sounded ridiculous at first but the more you think about it the more it starts to become clear how serious it actually is, even if he did it as a joke that doesn't mean its ok. since it isn't even an appropriate one to make.

# data[].attributes.body
they need to do everything in their power to find who wrote the slurs

# data[].attributes.body
showing acceptance and respect

# data[].attributes.body
As it is impossible to force rules on people/students, I do beleive that inspiring others/changing for the good is definetly an option. I think that positive acts done by people definetly influence others and perhaps the more good we try to accomplish(even if its little things such as a compliment) the bigger of a step in the right direction for our future we are.

# data[].attributes.body
By having open conversations about things like this. People who secretly hold these hateful values should hear from people of color and the lgbtq+ community on the experiences and hardships they face on a day to day basis and how things like this hurt them.

# data[].attributes.body
so that rumors don't spread and someone gets blamed for it. they also want to make sure that people know that they are working on it.

# data[].attributes.body
treating people like people

# data[].attributes.body
the people who wrote the slurs knew what they were doing and wrote them with the intent to harm others, and i think they should be punished or expelled for purposely hurting other students

# data[].attributes.body
So the people who did see it are aware that the school does care, is against it, and is working to fix it. Also, so students know that it will not be tolerated at Sturgis.

# data[].attributes.body
by showing kindness and having a non judgmental environment.

# data[].attributes.body
By showing that racism isn't okay, and educating people. Racism and homophobia isn't something that people are born with, you aren't born with that sense of superiority, it's something they're taught, and therefore with help someone could change their beliefs about these things.

# data[].attributes.headline
annoyed because sturgis should be more respectful because everyone here comes from a different back round or may have a different view of life and sturgis students/staff should respect all

Just by watching Sturgis as a school and seeing how they operate you can tell that it is powered by kindness, and I can see how much they are trying to be accepting to everyone. I do think that perhaps we could spread more awareness on certain topics(harmful ones), and just show more support for them.

1. Just because 1 person wrote it or only a few people saw it, doesn't mean it's only representative (sadly) of a few perspectives. 2. To foster a sense of allyship in the wake of something harmful and divisive. It's a necessary next step to healing.

It doesn't really need to be a big thing, just show we support them, and treat them the same way. Like respecting pronouns, and accepting cultures, and sexualities.

# data[].attributes.body
By punishing students who do things that are racist at Sturgis.

# data[].attributes.body
Make sure their friends know this is not okay.

# data[].attributes.body
Just because only a few people were caught, doesn’t mean others don’t think the same things/ think things like this are funny. I think the school also wants us to know thinks like this aren’t okay and that there actions have consequences.

# data[].attributes.body
^^^ hate will always happen and there's nothing we can do about it, what we can do is reduce the amount of hate will be shown to those who are the victims

# data[].attributes.body
At first i was confused, and didn’t really know what was going on, now that I know more about it, i think it’s a very disturbing thing.

# data[].attributes.headline
i dont think theres a way to "STOP" those things from happening but you can some what prevent it.

It made me sad because I feel like sturgis seems so welcoming and then I realized that there are still people here who are ignorant/racist/homophobic etc

# data[].attributes.body
Ignorance is ignoring the problem/ not caring about the problem just because it doesn’t effect you or you simply don’t care.

# data[].attributes.body
Ignorance is not understanding something, and it's connected to racism because it's a false sense of superiority because of where you come from and your skin color.

the student body can take action by showing awareness to a certain group of people or advise people to talk to there school councillor or a trusted teacher

I love seeing study body taking action in helping our community. Whether its helping others around us or even the ones closet to us. I think that this brings a lot of positivity to the students and the people/staff involved with our school as well. I think this gives the students a lot more motivation whether its in their personal life that they need it or even just to help with school work. I think that taking action in more community style events would definetly benefit our school.
