    Default Children's Book Explores Racism And 'Whiteness'

    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.”

    “If we have to have a choice between being dead and pitied, and being alive with a bad image, we’d rather be alive and have the bad image.”

    — Golda Meir

    Zionism is the movement for the self-determination and statehood for the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland, the land of Israel.


    “If Hamas put down their weapons, there would be no more violence. If the Jews put down their weapons, there would be no Israel."

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

    They should follow it up with an African American children's book like:
