[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jeff Kardde: [QB] I went to Catholic school for my first six years of grade school. Who were the people in my class? Thirty white kids, one black girl, one girl from the Philapines. There was a kid from Venezuala in the 3rd grade, but his dad (a Colonel in the Venezualan military) left after that year so so did my friend. Prior to starting 7th grade, I moved from Adelphi, Md to Columbia, Md and entered public school. Blacks, hispanics, whites ... wow! It was damn near overwhelming being with so many people who [i]weren't[/i] white. Oh, sure, I'd known some black kids from my old neighborhood, but for the most part, the black kids and the white kids didn't play together -- except for the occasional social gathering our parent's dragged us to. Not so at Wilde Lake Middle School. Did the teachers try and teach social behavior? Well, they didn't really have to, aside for arranging seating assignments so that you didn't have all the white kids on the left side, the latinos in the middle, and the blacks on the other side. Social interaction between races is the key to eliminating racism (and, hopefully, homophobia, too). Look at the movie [i]Remember the Titans[/i]. It was based on a true story -- except, in real life, the black kids and the white kids were best of friends and tight as a team could be after the football camp -- the movie stretches that out a bit. That's my two-cents. [/QB][/QUOTE]
