That your child came home crying is the best thing that could have happened. She has compassion. What more valuable lesson could she have discovered in school? Team spirit? Rah! Rah! Rah! USA! USA! CSA! KKK! Or who has the most pricy labels on their clothing? You should be proud of her and thankful that she learned more than blind hate or simple-minded ignorance.

Tell her how proud you are of her for her understanding and compassion, and how thankful you are for her teacher for bringing her best qualities to the surface, and open (don't force) the discussion to ways she might take action to right the wrongs in this world.
