[quote=Anonymous]I told my kids (preschool & first grade), boy & girl, why MLK was such a great person. And we talk about how long ago, people were not treated equally. We talked about slavery and  how women didn't have the right to vote. How that wasn't right and it wasn't fair. How would you like it if someone said you couldn't go to school because of the way you look. Or how an owner could separated you from your mom and sell you off. That's not right and I wouldn't like that. But I also tell them how things are much better now that we treat people how we want to be treated. We've had our first black president. We can be friends with whomever we like. But we have not had a woman as president. Why do you think that is? My son said maybe girls are not as smart as the boys. Well that certainly isn't true and we pointed out that girls are just as capable as boys. And he thought about it and agreed. So I think discussions do help children understand how we should treat everyone right. [/quote]
