And?

If kids don't learn about tolerance when they're young, then they're gonna be pretty intolerant in adulthood.

Yes, these kids are walking a serious path, one where their mental faculties are compromised by years of repeated black jokes.

tolerance??!!

Tolerance = report people to authorities?

tolerance = label young children racists?

tolerance = don't let people say things that you don't like to hear?

I know your dialect of the language isn't exactly the same as mine, but they're not that different.  You seriously need to purchase a dictionary, man.

Ugh, this country is a joke sometimes. You want to know how to end racism? Here's how:

STOP TALKING ABOUT IT.

Really, if people stopped making such a fuss about racism, it would go away.

Spoken like a true white man.

Jokes aside; what makes you think not "fussing" will in any way make racism disappear?

And you think this is a good way to teach tolerance?

     I see folks are having coronaries over nothing again. Are there any actual legal repercussions over the use of racist language?

Why are you a communist if you don't think that racism is a problem?

Well, teaching tolerance is very important, but I fail to see how reporting racist language is teaching tolerance.

I do think it is a problem. And the answer is to stop treating people as if they are from a different race. Treat them as people instead.

Cool. I wonder what kids will be told to snitch on their parents about next?

I love the constant chatter about tolerance. One tolerates things they hate, but doesn't accept them. It's treating kids as if they should know better, and yet, it's taken as perfectly logical.
