Amen, JE!

At my Catholic High School, we were a truly "diverse" population of folks; however, we were all united in our faith. That one commonm element put us all on the same playing field. Not suprisingly, we did not have racial tension in our classrooms. I don't remember any racial animosity - ever - because we simply didn't see ourselves that way.

Not nowadays. Certainly not in public schools. We're too busy celebrating our differences to appreciate our similarities...when it's the common bonds that break down walls and help us see each other as people.

Thankfully, I'm avoiding that mess with my children. After several years of trying to make the public school system work, I took the road less traveled and am now homeschooling.

“We’re too busy celebrating our differences to appreciate our similarities.”

My Hat is off to you, and I know your efforts will payoff handsomely in the future.
Yeah, we always saw each other as children of God, recognizing that Christ died on the Cross for the salvation of each and everyone of us.
Public schools == Commie schools, where division and conflict keeps the administration in charge and on a trajectory to enact every more draconian policies to impose and guarantee ‘equality’.
