Rationale
What is Social Justice?
To put it simply social justice is justice in terms of the distribution of wealth, opportunities, and privileges within a society. There are many different issues in social justice and it is important to teach students about as many issues as possible. By doing so, I hope to foster empathetic model citizens who are ready to give back to their community

“In Both Rich And Poor Schools, Black Students Face Harsher Punishments” By Rebecca Klein

  https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/black-students- punishment-betsy-devos_us_5ac539b6e4b056a8f597f2a0

Black students and students with disabilities account for a smaller percentage in schools but somehow are suspended, expelled, or referred to local law enforcement at a disproportionate percentage. Black students are often given harsher punishments for lesser offenses than their peers. The article also mentions how if students are suspended in school they are more likely to enter the criminal justice system as adults

Racial minorities and students with disabilities are the students in the “pipeline”. The author found that removing students from school does not improve their behavior. The author also calls for more support and training for teachers in behavior modification. Positive intervention and support can reduce suspension and in turn reduce the number of students that find themselves in the criminal justice system as adults

Although discrimination is deemed illegal by the laws of the United States there are still many examples of discrimination everywhere. Discrimination can be seen in schools, housing, credit, etc. The author believes that government intervention is necessary to level the playing field for those who are discriminated against however, the author also notes that some government intervention like Affirmative Action lessen the value of the actions of those it is meant to benefit. The author asserts that discrimination hurts our society
