As I was being oriented at my new school's library, in the periodicals section my eyes fell upon a copy of "Teaching Tolerance" magazine. Yes, that's right. So I decided to check out their website, tolerance.org.

This really is the religion of the 21st century. Gosh, if everyone would just be nice to everyone, all wars, pestilence, and famine will cease. I really think this is a root cause of this "divisiveness" everyone likes to talk about these days. "We're too divided. We need to be unified." Well, that's because when people disagree, they just smile, nod, turn around, and keep their disparaging remarks to themselves--and people who will agree with them--lest they be perceived as intolerant, rather than having civilized yet impassioned discussions.

Anyway, I especially "liked" the "Talk to Kids About..." section. So Greg, if you ever need help talking to Ella about white privilege, same-sex marriage, or--heaven forfend--The Boy Scouts... don't despair! You have a resource you can turn to!
