Scout: Education is a beautiful thing

I do agree with your article about Martin Luther King Jr.; I also believe that you shouldn’t judge people by how they look. I believe that everyone should have the same rights that a white person has. So that everyone can fend for themselves the same way.

When (Olympic College student Shannon) Turner talked about his trip to Washington D.C, I felt that if I were a black man I would to feel empowered not to quit on turning our great nation into something better. (See “Lift up others, former Seattle mayor says at MLK celebration,” Central Kitsap Reporter, Jan. 22.)

Education is a beautiful thing and I believe everyone should have the same amount of Education. Because if you see someone who needs education, don’t you want to share it with them?
