A DIALOGUE ON RACE?

摘要

New social science suggests that parents and educators need to preach racial tolerance to young children overtly and explicitly. Platitudes such as "Everybody's equal" and "God made us all the same" are too vague for children to understand that they refer to skin color. Multicultural television shows also carry theirmessage too implicitly: they don't actually improve children's racial attitudes. The overall message of this science was "Stop speaking in code about race," because kids don't understand the code.
