Hey Mustangs! The Newsmedia class is starting a new video series about breaking stereotypes about race and religion in our school. This is the first video in our series, Everyday Canyon Vista. We were inspired by BuzzFeed’s video “I’m Muslim, But I’m Not” and decided to recreate the video within our school with students and faculty.
A stereotype is a prejudiced belief that all people or things within a particular group are identical. With Canyon Vista being such a diverse school, stereotypes are widely used, and the person placing a demeaning label rarely realizes the negative effects their words have on others.
This is the first of many videos in our series. If you would like to take part in a video, please email us, or fill out the student survey sent to your student inbox. If you’re a teacher, you received an email as well.
