Or when the administration breached its contract with its workers? Of course, they were too jaded to care.

Yet the use of race, for even the noblest of ends, still remains a contention topic, particularly amongst modern social scientists who rail against race as a mere social construct. A post-racial America may eventually be realized, but the current moment in American society is still fraught with racism and race-consciousness. Until race-neutral policies are able to yield fair and equal opportunities in education, we must...
