Boys get same haircut so teacher wouldnt tell them apart

?zoom=

This morning Jax and I were discussing his wild hair. I told him that he needed a haircut this weekend. He said that he wanted his head shaved really short so he could look like his friend Reddy. He said he couldn't wait to go to school on Monday with his hair like Reddy's so that his teacher wouldn't be able to tell them apart. He thought it would be so hilarious to confuse his teacher with the same haircut.

Here's a picture of Jax and Reddy from their Christmas program. I'm sure you all see the resemblance.

If this isn't proof that hate and prejudice is something that is taught I don't know what is. The only difference Jax sees in the two of them is their hair.

I hope the moms filled the teacher in ahead of time so she could act confused about who was who.

I refuse to call it racism...and will always call it discrimination, cause we humans are all of the same race.

None of them knew each other, and they studied how they grouped themselves.
Race and gender didn't factor in as they anticipated. They paired off and formed groups based on their ages. Race was no factor at all.

They could teach us all a thing or two. We are all the human race.
