I recently finished watching "Seperate but Equal" the movie about the supreme court case on Segregation in schools. It opened my eyes about exactly what it was like for some of those kids. Even in today's society, Seperate is not equal. How many of you would bet that "white" proms have much better funding, and are much nicer? I would. Being forced to seperate hurts both groups. I'm sure that I would feel bad if I was told that I cant see my white friends at prom because I am a mexican, and I wasn't welcome at that prom. That would hurt me forever. And all that this sort of practice does is degrade the self esteems of those kids. God, Im so angered by this.
