Race is not talked about too much in school, because if we do not talk about it, history will repeat itself. In fact, we do not talk about this enough. Most people only have a vague idea of what happens in terms of discrimination because of race and slavery.

I believe that race is not talked about too much in school because there is a need to talk about it right now. Even after all these years there are still people in America uneducated about the cultures and views of the different people that make up this diverse country. It isn't a question of too much, but rather a question of how. Being educated more about the ways that race effects us will make us more able to converse about it. Race SHOULD be talked about in school because school is meant to EDUCATE the people of America.

I don't believe race is talked about too much in schools because racist videos and comments are still being posted every day on social media. If we were to be more educated on race in schools then kids would learn to acknowledge and respect all races. Kids would learn that these words are not just words but have hundreds of years of dark history behind them. I believe schools should broaden students education on race so that they can fully understand the historical significance.

It is not, at least not in our schools. I can't argue for Northern schools, but down here, we only talk about racism whenever its completely necessary. Only when we are in Black History Month or very specific instances in history class. Or To Kill A Mockingbird. Oh yeah, we almost never talk about racism towards Asians or Hispanics.

Because race is a controversial topic, we tend to avoid all discussions of it in fear of offending someone. We should not. By dismissing the topic we are basically saying it is not important or it does not matter. When we choose not to inform students on the dark history of systematic racism in our country, we cultivate another generation of hate and ignorance. We should continue to talk about it in school.

Race is not talked about too much in school. Most schools teach history as it is and the fact that we politicize the fact that our schools teach students history in order to benefit a political campaign is absurd. The truth is that this statement is another wedge issue that Trump has put out in order to hopefully gain votes. Not just this, it is also disregarding history. It is clear that history is embedded in our government and lives and so therefore it is important for us to learn about it. Because of this, I cannot seem to wrap my head around the fact that we are disregarding history in order to gain votes. It is absolutely scary to know that America has come to this. It makes me wonder what is next?

I think it is not talked about to much because race is what defines everyone and how they get treated.Race should be talked about more in a way that everyone feels comfortable and not excluded.

I believe most teachers fear speaking about race in school. Therefore, it is not really spoken on. It is a really sensitive topic and people take things the wrong way.

It really all depends on the persons point of view and the students and how they take it. A lot of people take things out of context and make a problem. But to me it's not it's rarely talked about. And just dont talk bad about it and make things worse

No race is not talked about too much in school. Students receive only the most basic teaching on racial topics, leading to people going into the world horribly un-informed about our country's history. I would honestly say race needs to be talked about more in school but that's another arguement lmao

I do not think that race is talked about too much in school. I think it is important to understand the things that come with race, the good and the bad. If we didn't hear about these things, we couldn't fully understand the development of our country and how we have tried to improve our country and the way it operates.

I do not think race is overly talked about at school. I think it is important to learn how America has changed, and why people tend to act a certain way about certain things. If we do not learn the history behind the foundations of our country, then it will be difficult to avoid these harsh times. As they say, history can repeat itself.

I believe race is talked about in school, but not enough for other backgrounds, especially African-Americans. It feels as if teachers skim over important parts of our history like slavery. Instead they just focus on the "happier" parts of history like Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I have a dream" speech.

I think race is not talked about enough. If it is talked about it is from one side most likely. It had been talked about a little more now because of the black lives matter

I think racial topics and events should be taught at an earlier age. Even as early as elementary, while kids are still learning basic things. If kids understand at an early age that bad stuff happened and that we should aim to prevent anything racist from happening again or continuing to happen, then maybe as they get older they will still keep that in mind, instead of already forming an opinion and becoming stuck to that opinion by the time they ever learn anything major about racism

For many generations, it has been debated within our school systems on how the curriculum involving our countries past racial issues should be handled in the classrooms. However, one thing that is rarely brought up is how the teachers themselves can implement their own beliefs, opinions, or not fully convey all the information in the classroom. This is important because there are situations in which some teachers can be prejudice against a certain race. So because of that, if race was talked more or less in schools, how would that stop those situations involving those particular teachers from happening?

Is Race Talked About Too Much in School?

It is talked about too much everywhere, including school. As others have pointed out however, it becomes necessary if there is a genuine racial divide. A healthy society is one where race is never brought into a conversation because it doesn't need to be. But in America most common statistics are frequently broken down around the various racial groupings, which indicates to me that, for whatever reason, the country is more than a little bit obsessed with (often imagined) racial differences. This only gives ammunition to racists, because they are able to point to figures and use them to draw spurious conclusions. I have had many an argument with various American Conservatives waving around crime statistics as "proof" that black people are dangerous. There is an implied -- and largely unjustified -- assumption in the general data gathering process that racial groupings are important.

How much is too much? The fact that we have white supremacists marching in Charlottesville without a word from our leader until the next day, shows that we need race talked about in schools. So for Trump to suggest it's being talked about too much, I'd have to ask....does he think once a day to too much? once a week? once a month? EVER??

In what context? Is he saying the school (a learning institution) talks about our history too much? Is he saying it's said too much in random conversations?

I think It depends on the type of race, because we talk about differences and how people were treated differently too often. We don't need to understand why people are made different, we just need to respect it.

I think race is talked about too much when it shouldnt be, race is a relavent discussion on things such as unproportionate shootings of black males vs other races who arent(for the same things as well) with data to back it up along with it. Claiming someone is a racist and wants to "return to the old days" because they don't agree with you or share your sentiment is an improper way to use it, a way that is becoming the norm today. This leads to race being overspoken on to the point where when race actually matters people don't want to hear it and take it for complaining.
