"Livinging 'Savage Inequalities'" Response

In this article not only did the fifth graders surpass the expected response to "Savage Inequalities", but they even took it a step further by acting on their response. They were given an example of a similar situation to their own and took the old cliché that they "could do whatever they put their minds to" and actually did something. What really drives it home is the adult mindset the fifth graders took. It really saddens me that the board would not take the fifth graders response. The board could not see past the age and/or race of the fifth graders when they are really the ones most affected by the injustices dealt to their society. I am glad that through the help of Mr. Schultz their voice was heard and they did make a difference in their school and community.
