Face the racism in Clovis schools, for the sake of new students

Racism is an ongoing issue occurring in Clovis schools that is only getting worse. Everyone chooses to ignore the issue, rather than to work together and end the problem.

I attend a Clovis Unified school and I witness racism all around the campus every day. Whether they’re jokes or not, they are unacceptable. I just want schools to realize that what is going on is not appropriate behavior and I hope that the administrators start taking action.

I want to create a better environment for the incoming students. I want people to make a positive change before it’s too late.

D’Angelo Greer, Clovis
