This comment is silly. This essay was written by a 13 year old girl, who was writing about how she comes to terms with her experiences in education. Obviously, she's almost certainly wrong about the racial motivation for the lack of education she's receiving. But that doesn't invalidate her perspective. Those of us who have a larger view of the system owe it to her to take her perspective seriously, and hopefully place it in the proper context that she is incapable of doing. The fact that she sees a division based on race is completely legitimate. The fact that she knows she's receiving a poor education from white teachers who don't give a shit is legitimate. She drew a poor conclusion, because of a lack of perspective. That doesn't invalidate her experiences and thus warrant ignoring her.
