Academy of Learning and Leadership Opinions

Eli: Racism should stop because people are getting hurt or lynched because of their race.  Racism hurts people and families.  Racism hurts families by killing  uncles, brothers, aunts, sisters, cousins, mothers, and fathers.

Patrick: To me, if a teen has a gun that can only mean one of two things… if a teen has a gun, either they are scared or they are afraid of getting shot. Having a gun is not cool...so if you turn your gun in, you can save a life.

Maurice: I don’t live where people are killing people for a bunch of stuff and I really don’t like when people kill people just because someone said that he talked about you.
