why doesn't jordan like ms. Slates art class

Jordan enrolls in his first (and seemingly lame) art class taught by Ms. Slate, an avante-garde artist extraordinaire. He doesn't like the abstract figurative style of art that she introduces.

One complaint that both boys have is the fact that other students confuse them with other black students in the school. The white students do not look past the color of their skin and see them as individuals.
