Create a Racial Diversity Counselor Position at Munster High School


Create a Racial Diversity Counselor Position at Munster High School
The Issue
The public school systems of Munster Indiana are ever growing and ever diversifying. However, the increasing population of students of color possess essentially little to no representation in the administrative board.
This petition is to implement an experienced social worker, psychologist, or counselor of color to aid students of color in a predominantly white school system. This position would also function as an advocate or mediator to administrative board members when addressing topics of race in the school
Black and brown students suffer everyday at the hands of racial slurs, prejudice teachers, and lack of representation at the school. It is absolutely essential that these very same students have an outlet and feel secure in having someone to talk to about their unjust experiences.
Munster is an every changing and ever growing city. We are becoming a melting pot of background and cultures, and the city now must be able to welcome everyone.
