Everything is slanted to help the more priveleged succeed. I come from a relatively poor family, and have had to work my way up to get good grades in school and enroll in higher level courses. However, some children with rather affluent parents have gotten preferential treatment, and I don't believe that is fair. I've tried to bring up this issue with the school board, but the board mostly consists of these more affluent parents. I'm concerned that they aren't focused on the other students' well-being and academic performance as well as their freedoms, as recently there was a controversy over showing R-rated films in class (specifically ones hinting at gay content). This is ridiculous and prejudiced, and I am appalled that in such a progressive area in the 21st century, these types of things can occur. There need to be some major reforms here, and definitely more diversity.
