As Nelson Mandela said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” Also, Dr. Martin Luther King said, “The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education.” In life, not everyone is born with a silver spoon in his or her mouth.

many people suffered from discrimination, and it is sad to say schools were one the biggest targets of this disease. For instance, the author of the book Warriors Don’t Cry, Melba Pattillo Beals, writes about how she was the target of her school and suffered years of discrimination and segregation while she attended an all white school.

In the case of Helisek v. Dearborn Public Schools, in my opinion, before cameras were automatically installed, other measures could have been taken to see if the physical education teacher was in fact stealing money or not. Although the likelihood of him confessing to stealing money from the students was highly unlikely, however, as an employee, he deserved that much at least.
