I do like to keep reminding myself that we’re not born racist. That could bring me down, thinking that people are still passing their racism along to their children but instead I like to think of it this way; maybe it’s not too late to teach someone that racism doesn’t have to be.

This is the fourth in a series of posts where I share something my 6th grade Science students came up with, an idea for sharing their thoughts and questions about the problems facing our Earth. Unlike the previous posts, this one doesn’t deal with what people are doing to the Earth but rather how people are treating other people. It’s all connected isn’t it? This post so far has gotten the most reads on our new World Solutions blog.

When this 6th grader shared her idea for a post for our new World Solutions blog, she wanted to write about racism. Like many she’s been deeply disturbed by what she is seeing on television. Here’s her post on:

Racism

Give it a read and if you can, leave a comment or at least share her post with your PLN or social network.

Thank you!
