Students Refuse to State Race on Forms

Around the nation, young students' are refusing to profile themselves and categorize themselves according to race. In a growing trend, students are refusing to state their race on official government forms. As said senior Jessica Mae Belcher- "We shouldn't be judged by our race."

According to McClatchy Newspapers:

From 2006 to 2009, the number of Elk Grove Unified School District students whose parents listed their race as "multiple/no response" went from 500 to 6,200 — a twelve-fold jump in just three years, the California Department of Education says. About one of every 10 of the district's students now list race as "multiple/no response."

There's also been a dramatic rise statewide. Data show the number of K-12 students listing their race as "multiple/no response" has jumped 70 percent, from 124,000 in 2006 to 210,000 last year.

But this isn't sitting well with government officials, who want to judge people based on race. Although the government can't force someone to fill out a form, the US Department of Education is asking school officials to fill out students forms for them by eyeballing students, judging them, profiling them, and then filling in the appropriate box.

The failure for students to go along with the systematic racism the US government is promoting has led to the federal government trying to outfox the clever young students- according to the Federal Register, there will now no longer be a "no race and/or ethnicity unknown" category and schools will use "observer identification" when a parent or guardian refuses to identify race.

A dozen classmates at Elk Grove Unified School District said they'd rather identify as "American" on tests, but the government does not offer that option- only white and a dozen other non-white categories.

The US Department of Education was founded to improve education in our nation, but like most government agencies its mission has now changed, and now it is in the business of profiling students and dividing our nation up into various minority and majority groups. Students will fight this, but the game is rigged against them, and eventually the full power of the fully operational federal government will crush their little rebellion, and all their little friends too.
