Education system in United States is believed by many US citizens to have prejudiced attitudes towards the white, male students, especially those in public schools. Although the government has constantly reminded the citizens that they will have ‘zero tolerance’ for misbehavior in public schools, US citizens view that this rules apply more harshly only to the white male students. Even the teachers themselves sometimes take actions that humiliate the boys by singling them out for harassment and ridicule.
For example, 11-year old Matt Porter was derided as the teachers in his school awarded him with “Most Likely Not To Have Children” and “Sir Clowns-a-Lot” awards. This really hurts the child’s and also the parents’ heart as they feel that it is a discrimination that should not be practiced by teachers. Another case is 28 kindergarten students have been suspended for perpetrating ‘sex offenses’, with 15 of them are alleged with sexual harassment. Many found it ridiculous because they are just innocent kindergarten students who still do not understand what sex is. Their parents are speechless because even if they protested, the punishment given by the school is final. If such condition continues, then there is a high chance that there will be segregation between races in United States, which will jeopardize political stability in US.
