Do you appreciate living in a country where people from all aspects of life can live side by side with tolerance and respect for their cultural differences? Do you even know your neighbors? What nationality are they? What religion are they? What do you have in common?
Sad to say I don't know my neighbor intimately enough to know this information about them. They are Caucasian and that's about all I can gather without probing into their personal spiritual life. Unfortunately the community I live in is not so big on the diversity thing. Which is unfortunate for me as I need that kind of diversity to feel well rounded.
I had to drop off my child at school the other morning, along with his 24 cupcakes for his birthday. 22 students in his class, a good variety of boys and girls but not so good a variety of ethnicity. I only live here because of this school...its the best. Walking down the busy hallways I did notice a better mix of Asian, Latino, Caucasian, south American, African American, and any others I might not be able to distinguish. I still didn't feel that my child would become educated with a diverse group of individuals. Does that really make this school the best or only rich enough that a small number of families can afford to live in the school district?
By your bloggs I think You! Are your child's culture and by that will be exposed as you see fit. I say "Good Look'n Out" Mama, keep up the good deed to your childs developement, much needed for tomorrows generation, is your child interested in speaking another language?
