Students experience discrimination and racism at school. (You might want to clarify: grammar school? middle school? high school? college? And where is the school located? Inner city Chicago? Rural North Carolina?  And what group are you talking about? Jewish? Iranian? Asian? White? You can't cover all school racism in one paper. Be specific.)

Generally, a thesis statement is written within a thesis/dissertation's Abstract and summarizes findings of research already conducted. When postulating a thesis statement before-the-fact (that is, before any research or information gathering has actually been undertaken), it is best to state it as a question. "Does discrimination and racism exist in ... ?" However, it is best to target a specific segment  -- in this case, perhaps adding a specific school district or even (more narrowly) a specific school (e.g., Blanco Extremis High School). Be sure that any institutional house-specific criteria for thesis/dissertation are met. For more on thesis in general, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thesis.

I think one would have to be sure about the said discrimination and racsism and the definitions of such before embarking on a statement for a thesis.
