Children will learn to be more accepting of others. Because the world is becoming more and more diverse, people must respond. Former Seattle Public Schools Superintendent Joseph Olchefske said, “we clearly believe that diversity [in schools is] important for our children as they grow up in a multicultural world” (Divided 1). Negative opinions of people of other races are affected by things like what is heard or seen on the news, but even more so by personal experiences (Farrington 2). So, accepting others can be difficult if viewpoints are biased. Jacqueline Echois, a ninth grader who is part of her school's cultural relations club, said, “You feel comfortable with your stereotypes and your opinions. If no one tells me I’m wrong, I think I’m right” (Shaw 2). Attending a racially diverse school helps students break stereotypes of other races, ethnicities, or religions, even people of different socioeconomic statuses. Various schools teach children to look beyond what they see on the screen.
