When children are taught to devalue others they learn to devalue anyone, even their parents. Parents should remember that when they teach their children bigotry; whether it is against gays, women, other religions, or the poor. Because one day you will be old and in need of their charity. The values you teach them as a child will determine if they will treat you with love and support or if they marginalize you as a human being with no worth.
@lucifargundam Agreed, would be nice if some people cared enough about their child not to mold them into a bigot as well.
@freemo Even without considering the hopeful benefits to oneself in being a part of the upbringing of another person- it is my hope that people reading this would consider that to encourage or insinuate prejudice against another in the presence of a impressionable youth is to arm them with the means to make unnecessary enemies in world full of potential friends.
Don't hate- reciprocate.
