My daughter and son-in-law have decided to home-school their children for now. Last Monday my daughter gave my five (5) year-old grand-daughter her writing assignment. It was Martin Luther King Jr. Day so my daughter explained to her why our country was celebrating and what the man had accomplished. Here is the final paper my grand-daughter wrote on the computer:
“you should not judge people by the color of their skin. it is very rude and disrespectful. also it will hurt that person’s feelings. it doesn’t matter what color is on your skin because it does not have anything to do with the way the brain is or how people act. instead you should watch how people are to other people. that will tell you more than skin will.”
From the mouth of a five (5) year-old to the ears of the world…
