New York Governor Andrew Cuomo once confessed, “I believe that discrimination still exists in society and we must fight it in every form.” It is important to stress the fact that discrimination is an issue that is in existence in all areas of society, whether it be in our schools, our homes, our government, our work, or our churches. Society’s discrimination has slowly encroached itself into the new generation, my generation.
