“Ideas won’t keep…” #68

Babies of all nations are alike until adults teach them.

-Mauree Applegate


A satirical song titled “You’ve Got To Be Carefully Taught” has a similar theme. It says that children must learn to hate and fear anyone different from themselves.

Why do some people want their children to dislike or look down on other people?

Would our planet be at peace if children were taught to accept and respect all peoples? Explain why you think it would or would not be.
