[quote=Anonymous][quote] The point is that children will do this anyway. You dont say "Susie wouldn't have been in our class," and leave it there. Yes doing so is a hit clumsy, but if it is part of a bigger conversation about the history and why it was wrong, it isn't going to create resentment. Little children DO see color. They do not naturally carry a (conscious) prejudice. The world is going to send them certain messages about race that we as a society should be trying to move beyond. It is the job of teachers and parents to control the message early. That means honestly addressing the facts and their concerns, and not glossing over the realities. The truth is, 50 years ago, little Susie wouldn't have been in their class. I'm sorry that truth makes you uncomfortable. [/quote] Did you even read the post? She didn't say not to talk about it--she said not to "personalize" it. All that accomplishes is to make Susie a victim. Kids don't like that. [/quote]
