She says that students are afraid to express individual opinions during classroom discussion for fear of being labeled racist. In one instance she describes, a female student refused to complete an essay out of fear of being unconsciously racist, according to her letter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have heard from students who don\u2019t participate in discussions for fear of being ostracized.
