Must Students Have Teachers Who Look Like Them?

It seems that racism will not die. The latest demand from the left is that teachers must look like their students. And, as we become browner and blacker, the leftists say there are not enough brown and black teachers. But think about that. If a classroom has 35 students and 20 of them are brown or black, the leftists would demand that the class have a brown or black teacher. But, what about the remaining 15 white kids? Do they not deserve a teacher who looks like them?

The easiest solution to this problem is to segregate schools by race. Then white kids can have white teachers and brown/black kids can have brown/black teachers. But wait……………..haven’t we spent the last 160 years trying to escape racial segregation? My suggestion is that we stop dealing with people based on the color of their skin and start treating people, including students, as individuals. It is called ending racism. What a concept.
