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:

My name is Ingrid Atzl Irigoyen. This is a place to share my personal reflections on a range of social justice issues, and echo the positive energy that authors who are experts on these topics put into the world by reposting their writings. It is one very modest contribution I can make to encourage a more just world.
