Respecting Different Cultures
Race and ethnicity is an admittedly tricky subject to discuss, but when teachers sidestep the issue and selectively ignoring children's natural curiosity, we actually "teach" them that some differences are not acceptable. By failing to attach positive value to certain differences, we leave children to absorb the biases of society. Given the often negative biases and prejudices, do we really want to risk doing that?
