There is still a lot of intolerance in the world. You don't have to look far to see the seeds of hate in the media. Immigrants are still stigmatized for example but the problem of misinformation and being given incorrect or insensitive information is not just a problem for adults. Kids especially are constantly being bombarded with images and info that is not in their best interest.
What is surprising to a lot of people is just how far you have to go to get messages that tell you that you are different, tell you what you need and give you information about the community you live in. You don't have to sign up to some web site, no need to take out a credit card or visit a museum.
You just need to step outside and really take a good look around. Click here for some quick stats of the neighborhood where my kid goes to school.
