EQUAL PROTECTION UNDER THE LAW In school especially‚ as well as throughout our daily lives‚ we learn in America to live by the idea of freedom and equality for all. We do not allow race‚ class‚ or creed to determine a person’s stature in the community. It may seem as if this is the standard of society‚ but these ideas of equality have been fought over since the beginning of written history‚ and even in America today‚ prejudice still exists.
