I read an article in the rocky mountain news called Schoolboys face court in racial taunting and what matters from this is how people are acting dealing with racism. The article talked about how three boys were taunting a minority student yelling things at him and it resulted in a fight. The article stated:

A minority youth told school and police officials that other boys put hoods over their heads and taunted him, chanting "KKK," according to news reports. The confrontation lasted a few minutes between classes and resulted in a fight.

The boys were disciplined by the school and currently are permitted to attend classes, Adair said. She said the boys were all of different ethnicities.

I think that this is absolutely unacceptable. Those kids had no right in taunting that kid and especially the fact that they were all different ethnicities. This behavior is the kind of stuff that was supposed to be banned by the civil rights laws. Hopefully the boys apologized to the other kid because he didn't deserve that. This relates to the world because there is still quite a lot of people out there who still believe in racism and segregation. I am definitely not one of those people and neither is anyone that I know. I do not agree with that kind of stuff at all it is wrong and hateful and people should get punished for it, it is not something to be taken lightly.
