Teaching kids with melanin in their skin that they belong in the world, and that is a bad thing that may threaten kids who were taught they DO belong, own the world, are entitled?

Punchable face, that one!

I hope there was a major kickback soon after she said it.

is that he is an imaginary construct whose image can be created to reflect your own biases.
White, blonde, clean, speaks American English? - yep, done!

If the real JC came back today, very few would recognize him.
He wouldn't be white, or blonde, or hate people of color or speak a language you'd understand, for starters.

On the "Just as you treat the least of these" principal, she has declared herself an enemy to Christianity. How dare she treat Jesus that way?
But then again, look at that bright smile. Then look at the eyes and see the expression of horror hidden behind that smile.

Isn't conservative taught by the parent? No child is born conservative. A child's instinct is to explore and learn. The very opposite of conservative.

The disgusting, whiny snowflakes are AFRAID.

AFRAID of "The other".

AFRAID to think.

AFRAID that the comfortable (for them, anyway) world they thought that they knew is changing beyond their limited comprehension.

AFRAID that there really is nothing after death.

AFRAID OF LIFE.

Helping kids of color will make the white kids feel neglected. Less entitled, less superior.
(But why does she think that is a bad thing?)

Unfortunately, it reveals a lot about her thinking. Racist, pro white/Christian/conservative values and against anything else.

Keep the divide going, dear! You are doing God's work. JC applauds your attitude and efforts. /sarcasm

Sad thing, she probably doesn't realize who and what she is.

She'd probably like to 'help' kids of darker skin tones by taking them out in the fields and teaching them how to pick cotton.

This example of casual, society endorsed racism isn't very casual.
Kids aren't born racist. They get taught that by racist adults.

I keep hearing that the younger generation is more accepting and including than any previous generation. Is this true? Please tell me this is true or we are doomed.
