[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's the problem:  The lessons are ones that adults would have benefitted from (and have now had).  Our kids live in a different context, but their easy targets as a captive audience for lessons others should have had.

The kids would be best off if they just functioned together day to day in their very diverse environments.  And then systemic racism that we are inured to would strike them as odd.

But instead we are inundating them with differences, drawing lines between them, and tacitly accusing them of the sins of long dead people.

This may feel good for adults now, but it does no favors for future society.[/quote]

+100. When I was growing up, my white classmates made fun of my food. Now, my children’s white classmates ask me to teach them how to cook it. Of course it was traumatic to be racially excluded. But my children’s white classmates are not my old white classmates. Just because they’re the same race doesn’t mean they’re the same people. To say so would be… racist[/quote]

Furthermore, I should add, as much as I want apologies from those who hurt me, taking it out on kids today by saying they should apologize for what happened in my adult past isn’t right[/quote]
