This piece reminds me of when a
@MarquetteU classmate said MU should "make those people" around campus leave as the area was "ghetto."1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

I asked this
@MarquetteU classmate where "those people" should go if uprooted and he said "I don't know but they shouldn't be here."1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

For those who have never been to Milwaukee,
@MarquetteU is on a main street leading to downtown and a homeless shelter up the street.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

orientation needs a component on Milwaukee history, not a student telling kids to not go past the McDonald's on Wisconsin Ave.

When I arrived
@MarquetteU there were students who had never interacted with Black people or seen poverty. Lot of Reading Rainbow moments.7 replies 1 retweet 2 likes -

Worth mentioning that
@MarquetteU student who wanted the "ghetto people" gone also said the school should demolish the homeless shelter.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

I valued my time
@MarquetteU. But I don't think the college prepares students to understand urban and social justice/welfare policy issues.1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -
