"The Constitution doesn't go
in my class!" was a statement of

referred to the incident in which
he wore a black armband in
protest of administration
policies concerning a school
election.

lack of student rights at a human
rights panel held February 22 at
Bellview School.
The panel discussion,
sponsored by the Ashland
Education Association, focused
on the whole spectrum of
human rights. Mr. Vondracek
moderated for the 10-memeber
panel.
"I was led to believe that
education was the key to the
elimination of human suffering,"
but instead "the present
structure of our institutions of
higher education is only a
microcism of the capitalistic and
racist society in which we live,"
)lack panel member Bill Sterling
:ommented.
Sterling, representing the
:ollege minority program,
naintained that the existence of
ninority programs only
erpetuates discrimination
ecause of the "racist attitude"
hich surrounds the programs.
Ruth Cortney from the Warm
prings Indian Reservation
poke on behalf of the American
ndian. She maintains that white
eople force the Indians to
jnction in a white man's world
nd fail to understand the Indian
philosophy. Miss Courtney
demanded an end to the
"all-white education system."
The present educational
system instigates only
"ignorance and prejudice" as
far as the mentally retarded are
concerned, commented panel
member Harry Detwiler. He
maintained that the special
education classes as such, should
be done away with and instead
involve the retarded in schools
so that they can become
contributing members of
society.

the Mexican American. He
claims that the schools ignore
the background of ethnic
groups.
