The most interesting article is the one that reports the heart-wrenching tales of from Native Alaska and American Indians had to say about schools. Apparently, most of these students suffer from bullying and stigmatization based on racial stereotypes. The students have difficulties coping in school because of bullying and stigmatization. One student narrates how he was beaten in the bathroom and then suspended and kicked off the basketball team. A system evaluation is necessary to eliminate stigmatization and racial mascots (Lee, 2015).

It was difficult for White House representatives to get the students to talk about their experience. They had to go the point of requesting elders to encourage the students to talk about their experience. The Federal government representatives did something positive by recording all the comments from the students. It will help to develop a report that can be given to officials in the education sector (Lee, 2015).

White House called on all stakeholders in the education sector to come up with ways to eliminate discrimination. Most of these students develop a negative attitude towards school because of their experience. Most of them are mistreated by school personnel, but they do not have knowledge about their civil rights. Most of them do not even understand the process required to file for a civil right violation.

The source is the most interesting because it handles an issue that has been around for many years. The elimination of bullying and racial stereotyping schools starts with people being comfortable to talk about it.
