I am a student at Covington Middle School. There’s a problem going around — it’s racism. It’s a big problem and it’s a worldwide thing. It’s going on at school, in the streets, it’s everywhere. Many black people are locked up in jail for no reason. People make fun of other people’s skin. Blacks and others should be treated with respect and should be treated the same as whites. You shouldn’t look at other people differently. It’s just wrong.
