Qian Zhang -Week 4-SS1

After read the article “She Shall Not Be Moved” by W. P. and Attack on the Spirit by the “Rational World” (and Spiritual Recovery from It), by Brett Esaki. I was really touching. I feel that the initiation of the conservative movement was a meaningful way of airing the Asian Americans’ voices concerning equal representation in legislative processes as well as the inclusion of their cultural details in learning programs. Interestingly, the students’ call for the introduction of cross-cultural studies promoted a sense of shared identity and self-confidence among the members of the minority groups. Nonetheless, the initiative was crucial since the movement would unite many students from minority groups such that they would have more power to fight for their rights. . She explains that it is hard to change inequity in terms of gender and racial prejudices because the worker may often perceive them as his or her failure to develop professional skills. 

  The article also discusses various stakeholders’ perceptions about the emergence of a conservative Asian American movement in the educational institutions. In this case, the key stakeholders include the students and educators, and the discussion confirms that student activism is a crucial tool for ending unjust systems. In addition to offering equal opportunities for learning, the elimination of racial stereotypes, and the acknowledgment of diverse cultural backgrounds promotes peaceful relations among students from diverse communities.

Based on the discussion, the Asian American students felt that the policymakers were using diversity to conceal the incidences of discrimination of students from minority communities. Although the leaders claimed that they were enforcing policies that could end affirmative action, the minorities in institutions such as Harvard continued to face segregation mainly due to their ethnic backgrounds. More importantly, the existence of discrimination in educational settings affects students’ sense of identity and academic outcomes. A majority of Asian American students experienced difficulties in undertaking their learning activities. They also had limited access to all the critical facilities as the administrators prioritized their White counterparts. The call for fair and equitable leadership systems through activism helped the students to receive notable recognition in the decision-making policies. However, higher institutions are yet to attain equality across racial boundaries.
