[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a white upper middle class professional, and I was a FARMs kid with a sketchy home life. These comments about people not wanting their children to be around FARMs kids verifies everything I thought about some of the judgemental adults that I interacted with. You really don't know how your kids will turn out- or how the FARMs kids will. But, you can teach kindness and openness and that at least you'll have done the right thing. [/quote]

Thanks for this.  I'm another white upper middle class professional, and while I wasn't a FARMS kids, I grew up in an area where 80% or more of kids were receiving FARMS.  It was also all white.  I literally didn't lay eyes on a PoC until late grade school, and that was on a trip to the Big City.

I lean on the lessons I learned as a young person about compassion and gratitude all the time.  They have influenced my life, my politics, and my spiritual beliefs.  Not to mention my decision to live in a racially integrated neighborhood and use our local public school.  [/quote]
