Very Nice School.
1 5/27/2021
The school is called World Languages Institute, yet there is no inclusion for everyone who goes there. One race is dominate than others but that doesn't mean we celebrate just that one race. There are others who want to celebrate and show of their heritage. I love learning different cultures, so shouldn't others get the chance to do the same? The racial slurs and jokes that are made by students at this school are shocking. Many know what they say is upsetting but don't care. The environment is toxic, suffocating and mentally draining. I speak on my behalf as a black student. I hope there will be changes made for the future students.
