Santa Barbara Santa Maria San Luis Obispo, CA, November 11, 2026 — Seventy students from Ernest Righetti High School participated in a field trip to the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles.
The visit was conducted as part of the school’s Expository Reading and Writing Course (ERWC 10) pilot program. This educational excursion was designed to bridge the gap between theoretical classroom learning and tangible historical and social context.
The curriculum for the ERWC 10 course includes subjects such as the Holocaust and broader themes of social justice. The field trip provided students with direct engagement with historical artifacts and personal accounts from survivors. These elements are intended to offer a deeper comprehension of issues related to intolerance and the importance of civic responsibility.
By interacting with exhibits and testimonies at the museum, students were able to connect their studies to real-world issues and historical events. The program aims to foster a more profound understanding of the complexities of prejudice, discrimination, and the ongoing pursuit of a more just society. The Museum of Tolerance offers resources that explore these themes, allowing students to witness firsthand the impact of intolerance and the importance of active citizenship.
