Stop supporting "Hogwarts Legacy"

70% of students at CHS are white and 3.6% are Black, according to NBCNews, and groups like Unify Carmel are working to prevent the Carmel Clay school system from using certain methods, such as supposed critical race theory, to teach about race and racism, according to the Carmel Current. I certainly heard more than enough racist remarks thrown around by students during my four years at CHS that ultimately went unnoticed by school officials, mostly because there are so few Black students that no one would have reported it.

CHS and all of its programs and amenities certainly seem excessive, especially in comparison to school systems that do not even receive the amount of funding needed to maintain facilities. CHS is still expanding today with its most recent addition being a renovation of the school’s auditorium. While I am grateful for all of the opportunities that were provided to me because I attended CHS, it’s also important to acknowledge why the students have access to these amenities and how we got here. For schools in the Indianapolis Public School system, even a fraction of the amount of funding that CHS receives could change lives. Maybe its time to consider if cities like Carmel should be sending their money elsewhere.
