erias, andhallways. There are many programs aimed at stopping racism but teachers andsocialization programs cannot sway the racism out of the children's minds. Thechildren are not the problem. They are the products of what their parents created.From the day a child is born, it is learning from his or her parents. Instead of trying tocram a child's mind with anti-hate messages, teachers should attack the source of thisproblem, household, before it is too late. It is not the teacher's fault that they cannothelp their students avoid racism. Racism is everywhere and it begins in the home. If a child grows up in aracist household, he or she more than likely will take the traits of his or her parents. Ifparents teach their children that their race is far superior and other races are evil, thatchild will grow up believing his or her race is better than other races. Children don't know right from wrong. They do what their parents do andsay. If a father tells his young child not to play with the black boy down the blockbecause he says black people are bad then that child will believe his father. Childrenare fragile and extremely ignorant creatures. Children learn from their parents just likeanimals do in nature. For example, a baby bear is taught everything by his mother. Itis taught how to hunt, where to seek shelter, how to defend its self, and how to actaround other animals. If this baby bear is taught only to socialize with the brown bearsand stay away from the black bears then that is what the baby bear is going to do. Thesame exact thing goes with humans. If parents teach their children to only socializewith white people then that is exactly what the child is going to do. When I was a child growing up my best friend's father was extremelyracist. He did not want anything to do with black people. My friend was told not toassociate with black people. His father even tried to get me to follow in his beliefs,but my parents taught me different....
