SPLC report and an article in Parenting

Hi folks,
Happy spring. Here is a resource from the Southern Poverty Law Center's website tolerance.org that I believe offers a number of helpful pointers to parents.  I especially appreciate the focus on the Golden Rule, which transcends religion and politics and should, in its beautiful simplicity, be a universal guidepost for humanity.  If we only treated each other the way we ourselves want to be treated, just imagine the world we would live in.  Anyway, here is a link to the report Beyond the Golden Rule: A Parent’s Guide to Preventing and Responding to Prejudice

Also, I just discovered in the May issue of the magazine Parenting a good article about teaching children to be tolerant and open minded in an increasingly multicultural world.  A link here:

thanks,
Ingrid
