Should be required reading in schools


“Not My Idea: A Book About Whiteness,” published in September by Dottir Press, challenges kids as young as 8 (or even younger) to face up to how white people – unthinkingly, or even with the best intentions -- perpetuate racism.


Higginbotham says that no matter what parents do, kids will be aware of racism and racist violence. But she emphasizes that fixing racism isn’t the responsibility of racism’s victims. “Racism,” she writes, "is a white person’s problem, and we are all caught up in it.”

Kids are not born racists. Their parents teach them to hate. Like Fred Trump taught Daffy how to hate minorities.
