CMV: I believe that a cultural class should be mandatory to all high school students so as to better prepare them when aknowledging people from different cultures.

Society as we know it is becoming more and more culturally diverse these days yet the ignorance and prejudice that people have towards particular ethnics, race, etc. are more prevalent than ever. 

Kids need to understand some of the social backgrounds of people coming from different countries. Not too much, just basic enough to appreciate why some people are different and that not everyone likes to have bacon and eggs for breakfast. 

Racism essentially stems from prejudice and ignorance. 

Please change my view.

I think exposure to diverse populations is the best remedy for that kind of ignorance. Teaching is valuable, but it remains theoretical until kids actually encounter people in different cultures. Better idea: exchange program with other countries, other regions in the US, cities/rural areas.
