How to Help Kids Speak Out Against Injustices
Many of us are looking around and feeling like there’s a big uproar of political correctness right about now. Racism is first and foremost. Everyday there are people who are subjected to such prejiduce’s. We send our children out into the world to go to school and what will they do without our guidance? Will they stick up for themselves? Or will they cower in the face of injustice?
Key Takeaways:
- If you’re trying to raise your kids with the philosophy that all humans are inherently equal and no one should be judged based upon physical attributes and/or other inborn characteristics, it’s disheartening, to say the least.
- That’s just an example off the top of my head; you can obviously talk with your kids about how they’d like to make the point that you don’t judge the many by the few.
- Those sorts of decisions are harmful and we have a duty as citizens to point them out.
“Happy people are kind and generous. Unhappy people are fearful and vindictive. Rather than calling people “racist fascist meanies,” we talk about how unhappy and afraid those people must be, to so badly need to scapegoat others in order to feel safe and satisfied.”
