Here we are again…in the ring. In round 2 we involve the students themselves. I was able to find an example of how to involve our students in making a difference. There are organizations for children that teache them about racism and how to identify it, cope with it, and keep their environment safe and happy for themselves and for their peers.
Artists Against Racism (AAR) is an organization that does just that. The organization’s main goal is to “about the basic human right of equality, so that a civilized society will, in the next millennium, finally result” (www.heartsandminds.org). The groups goal is to teach children not to discriminate against someone different then themselves based on background, race, religion…etc. They teach the youth to learn about people different from themselves.
Children are like spounges, they obtain all information faster than ever. If we instill the right ideas in their heads, they will be the ones to change the future of racism.
