It seems Prager's motives were appropriate but his means were a little misguided. The ethnic groups that he deems as divisive are in reality, unifying. Said groups are not exclusive and provide a cultural center. Anyone can join the clubs and learn more about another ethnicity. It is when people use these clubs exclusively that they become divisive. Also, his formal dress code seems to have an effect only on the appearance of the school. It is more of a pretentious rule rather than an academic one. Without knowledge of basic safety such as what is taught in health class, society will become more risky. We must learn to think for ourselves and be presented with both sides of anything. Prager has a good idea but could work on his method.
