112. Okay, why do you teach them with your own experiences. Why don't you take them to a KKK rally -
so they can have their own experiences with racism? Can you really teach a child the stove is hot without sticking their fingers in the flame and burning them? Maybe the day care center should hire some child molester so they can have some direct experience on why that's wrong too.

What you are doing is using your experiences to teach them about racism and equality. You're not directly exposing them to it. That's my whole point. If you truly believe racism is harmful. Why in the hell would anyone want to intentionally and directly expose a child to that harm? :shrug: Sounds like child neglect to me. But as long you win the pissing contest. Who really about any of that? I guess it's better to teach the children to let right, wrong and higher sensibilities be damned. Life is about winning and getting your way at all costs.

Some :sarcasm: was used in making this post. If it was properly used some specious sensibilities should have been harmed. Geesh!
