[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids learn to deal with these things. There was a girl in my son's class in elementary school who gave a nice little presentation about Hanukkah to the class and  handed out little dreidels to all the kids and taught them how to play with them.

About a month later, another girl in the class started telling the other girls in the class not to play with the girl because she didn't celebrate Christmas. This was the class mean girl, cute and popular. I was so proud of these kids when I heard that the kids stood up to the popular mean girl and kept on playing with the Jewish girl.

The funny thing was, the mean girl was from an immigrant family and wasn't even Christian, so I don't know why she cared that the other girl didn't celebrate Christmas.

I just wanted to add that this was more than ten years ago, so current political climate doesn't really make that much of a difference. Some kids will focus on differences, some kids won't even notice. There are always people who don't like anyone who is different from them- that's why we try to teach our kids not to listen to them and to be kind to everyone they meet.
