Political Opinion: Llamando para un cambio para los estudiantes en las comunidades rurales
El mes pasado aproveché la oportunidad para hacer un llamado a nuestra comunidad joven para un cambio en mi comunidad rural. Sin embargo, se podría decir ¿qué cambio necesitamos exactamente? Le sorprenderá saber que hay muchas personas a las que no les gusta el cambio en nuestro condado. Recientemente se dijo: "No traigas ese tipo de problemas aquí, estamos en Davidson, eso no sucede aquí". Verá, como mujer de color que ha crecido en Davidson la mayor parte de su vida, me afecta directamente la desigualdad aquí, así que esta semana daremos un paso atrás y abordaremos uno de nuestros temas más importantes: Nuestros sistemas escolares.
