The Boy Who Painted Christ Black

The story is about a boy Aaron that studies in the Muskogee County School-for colored children, that boy was appreciated for his teachers and partners because he was brilliant and was considered as a ideal student.

He had a lot of talent and always help with the events in the school drew pumpkins, flags and did other type of handworks, specially painting.

A day, he made something more sepciall, that day was the birthday of his teacher, he painted Christ black with the argument that he have listened the cualities of Christ and he thought that Christ was should be black.

People who were sit kept the silence for a moment, but after found the picture so interesting was a piece of art, but the idea of Crhist Black was strange and uncomfortable for someones.

The painting was put in the place of the handworks that the students made during the year, the problem arrive when the supervisor of all the city school to saw the commencements, he recorred the school to saw the students and the metodology that used the teachers to teach, until he saw the picture, he said “Who painted this sacrilegious nonsense?”  and Aaron spoke “I painted it, sir.” 

The supervisor was angry and the principal of the school defended Aarons with the follow phrase "he paintin’ Jesus black as a white person have paintin’ him white, but this generated more disagree, supervisor was racist and thought that this picture attempt with good maners and ideologys about Jesus and religion.

After this discussion, the principal resigned the position that he had in the school but he conitnued teach to Aaron and help to explot his abilities.

We find this kind of behaviors a lot of time in the real life, despite we are in the XXI Century people are still racist and don´t accept that people are different in their appearance, the opportunities are more limited for these people, as if their color prevented them from being the same as us, in schools and in homes it is necessary to teach tolerance , respect for different cultures, make children understand that variety is not bad and that we are all different but we value the same and deserve the same amount of respect equally.

- What vill be your first impression to see a painting of Crhist Black?

- What do you think about the attitude of the supervisor?

-If you were the principal what would you do?

EDUCATION, RIGHT OR PRIVILEGE?

Before addressing this question and it’s possible answer, we must first understand a little about the relevance of education and it’s role, a brief introduction of what everyone may think as I do, or at least share some ideas. 

One of the fundamental pillars in the growth and development of children and adolescents is education, for a long time the idea of learning, teaching, acquiring knowledge, values, developing skills and beliefs are indispensable and are issues that are not only seen in the school, our learning process begins at  the moment that  we  are born, a constant acquisition of knowledge, not systematic knowledge precisely like mathematics, Spanish, social, sciences, are things like learning to walk, to talk among other aspects, to depend on ourselves. 

Life sometimes brings many things that don’t teach us anywhere, sometimes we must discover it on our own, learn from our mistakes in an empirical way, but that doesn’t mean that the teachings that educational institutions give us are unimportant; In addition, education in individuals generates social growth, development for the community in general. 

Parents start sending children to a kindergarden from the ages of 2 to 5 years old, who initially find it difficult to adjust to their new rhythm and start interacting with people and children who aren’t members of their household. 

And so they begin their great passage in the education world, some stumble upon many others, this process is facilitated. But, not all of them manage to reach a bachelor ship, children with limited resources must resort to ways to help their parents for obtain money to cover their basic needs and expenses in their homes, their knowledge is half-baked and they make them grow bad, in spite of the existence of public schools, parents can’t afford to spend money on uniforms, books or materials and prefer to invest money in things that are "more important" to them.Every day we meet children in traffic lights, in Transmilenio, selling sweets, working out any way to generate some kind of income; lucky are those who shouldn´t worry about getting money to pay for services or at least to eat, everything gets more complicated as it grows, as we accumulate years.  

There are very few aid offered by the state to these families, especially children who will soon be responsible for generating development in most of the environments that surround us. 

On average, there are more than 10 million children who don’t receive any type of school education with ages between 5 and 16 years; and according to the Ministry of Education, the reasons for this number of children who aren’t studying or who leave school in some degree of their education have to do, mainly, with factors such as child labor, violence or lack of financial resources to access the school.  

The city with the largest out-of-school population is Bogotá, with a total of 106,367 boys and 85,612 girls who don’t attend school. In addition, we must not forget the fact that many times the investment made by the state in education is very low and public schools often do not reach the level of private institutions, generating that children do not possess the same amounts of knowledge and at an unfavorable price for people who do not have large sums of money. 

Many teenagers who are in the schools or who study in the universities are there thanks to a scholarship system that allows them to continue with their studies, the existence of scholarships motivates students to strive in notorious ways to excel in their studies and can collaborate with their parents with the cost of tuition and pensions, but for this they must follow certain parameters therefore if they do not meet these conditions they can not be aspiring to these privileges. 

Ratifying the fact that education is more a privilege than a right, the majority of universities are private and for public universities an examination must be carried out to allow them to enter, not all of them approve, what is the use of having the goals and clear objectives if the opportunities are scarce in the country or in the world: people who do not have enough to pay for their semesters in universities must work by day and study at night,for generate a large amount of money and exhaustion, many times they can’t respond with jobs, they assume a really great responsibility both in their jobs, their future and their career; Compared with the people who receive  money by their parents, which are responsible for the payment of the career and the other expenses that study brings. 

Recently it was announced the end of one of the most important programs that allowed the education of students who met a certain score in the state test ICFES, Ser pilo paga who achieved this score could enter any type of university, private or public, regardless of the cost of the race, its end was due to a deficit in the program of 2 billion pesos. With this we can notice that the management by the state to offer a good education is not really the best, its concern is very little regarding the income destined to this field, if it was a right this type of programs would have the importance they deserve and they would look for alternatives to cover the deficit, this decision affects considerably the students who only had this tool to study in institutions that offer higher education, it’s very uncertain the future that holds for public institutions because they don’t have the income enough to support the expenses demanded by the universities and  to pay teachers' salaries.  

Problems that are not found in private universities, limited are the options that have those who wish to pursue their university studies; On the other hand those who manage to get ahead by their own means or public universities and want to get work to achieve stability and put into practice what they learned when being next to people who aspire to the same position but with their studies at recognized universities, which implied a greater investment in the career are left aside and the attention turns around those who had the possibility of carrying out their studies in expensive universities.  

SENA offers a variety of technologists and technicians, it offers them the opportunity to get a job in the same way; but who is going to compare a person graduated from Sena to a graduate of the University of the Andes for example; everyone can generate the answer to this question, but the doors are closed more and more for people with limited resources who want to study but can’t, we are in a world where money facilitates the achievement of many important things such as acquisition of knowledge and the development of people, adolescents, adults, children. 

I have heard many people say that it isn’t in the government's interest that people have a knowledge development because it does not suit them, the new generations would know what things would be good and what would not be for them, therefore, their regime of corruption and bad Handlings would not continue, they want to return to the ignorant people so that they can do their own.  

In short, we aim that every child attends a school worthy and well endowed; that all culminate the last year of the school year; that public schools are at the level of private schools, we demand that the State prioritize education. And, above all, we do not allow education to be a privilege of those who can afford it.
