Excited LAUSD going to offer ethnic studies

Letter to the Editor

Dear Editor,

As a parent of three kids at Los Al HS next year, I wanted to say I am so excited our district is going to offer ethnic studies as a college prep course. Understanding other cultures and backgrounds is critical to success in our world, and the more we cultivate tolerance and understanding the better off the next generation will be.

As parents we can teach our kids tolerance and values, but teens often hear the message louder from their peers.

Please don’t only give oxygen to the vocal minority who want to keep other cultures invisible.

 

Thank you,

Erin Rank
