It'd be a great opportunity for him to go to a school and speak about embracing harmless differences.

Every day President Barack Obama is handed a special purple folder. The folder contains ten letters, and every day President Obama takes time to read them. Are they from world leaders? From members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff? Members of the intelligence community? No, these letters have been culled from the thousands the White House Correspondence Office receives each day from Americans who have taken the time to sit down and write to their president.

We had a biracial boy in my fourth grade class. I grew up in a very lily-white area of WV, where there were very few black families, and no, I mean NO biracial couples at that time. That boy, Olando, was made fun of relentlessly by nearly all of the children in my class. It breaks my heart to know that this poor little girl has to go through the same thing for a slightly different reason.

Kids aren't born with prejudice and hatred in their hearts... They learn it from their parents.
