Reply To: Racism and Chinuch: What do we teach our children about diversity?

The hard part of chinuch today is getting the children to WANT to do the mitzvos and be tzniusdig and i think that the teachers/parents often use the line “we are better than them” to get the children to have a feeling for why we have certain restrictions and the goyim dont. I am not validating this behavior but because i do work in a school setting and hear the issues that arise, I do understand why teachers use this phrase and why they focus on us being the ‘am segulah’ and being a cut above the others.
