.. And place these students disproportionately in low track, remedial programs."
This does not end here; those that belong to a race that makes up a small minority of the total strength of an education are easy targets for open mockery and detraction. Even though, this is a rare happening but when it does happen, it leaves a lifelong effect on the mind of the individual.
However, the educational system is not ignorant of these happenings, and many institutions, or certain teachers in an institution are trying to little by little wipe away a few differences through the wings of similar educational potentials and abilities. I have thrived myself because of this particular adopted environment.
When teachers or educational committees tend to point out the similarities between students of two different races on levels of intellect, ability or intuition, it is then that the barriers of racial discrimination are lifted a little. But needless to say, the barriers are never fully off.
Partly to blame for this is the staunch and stubborn view of the families or parents that feel that their children deserve to be treated to better facilities than the rest just because they are better-off or natives or not belonging to a certain race.

Racial Discrimination in the Context Of the Death Penalty There is much controversy with regard to topics like racial discrimination and the death penalty in the contemporary society.
