Continuation of Diversity event

This diversity event obtains to McIntosh's theory of White Privilege because even though the students are not aware of the idea of white privilege it is being taught to them because the staff and teachers display the idea of white privelege, because the poor kids are the "COLORED" childern while the rich kids are played by the "WHITE" childern. This shows the power that being "white" really has among our society today. Young childern are exposed to this idea of power at a very young age. This is a prime example, the play was designed by the fifth grade class but the whole school went and attended so therefore this play showed the idea of POWER that the color of your skin has.
