Anti Semitism Is On The Rise On North Shore In Ma.

[Reba]

The churches and temples should have more interfaith gathering and celebrate holidays together and the older kids should help the younger kids with their homework
and get to one another . I think fear and ignorant it part of the reason this is still happening.

When I was a kid in CT, my family didn't attend church but I went to school with a "diverse" group of kids. My "group" of girlfriends was Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, white, black, Italian, Greek. We visited each others' homes and learned about each others' lives. We celebrated our birthdays together. I didn't get to visit a synagogue but I did visit Greek Orthodox and Catholic churches with my friends. One of my Jewish friends' family was observant and she showed me their kosher kitchen (two of every appliance for separate meat and dairy prep). To this day, my brother's best friend is a Jewish buddy from school days.

I'm listing all that just to show that there are natural ways for kids to learn about each other. It's not something that has to be hammered into their heads. Parents can help by taking them to different houses of worship, encouraging them to play with a variety of kids, and answering their questions about differences. The parents can teach their kids to respect, not fear or hurt others. The parents have to show that by their own example.

It looks like I should put rebellious child in your home and see about you could handle with them? Don't forget to get 100% leather belt out of drawer.

I'm sure that kid will end up in detention center after you striked with belts 50 times.

Sigh . . . I never suggested such a thing.

Parents have many tasks to do it and they have to cook the dinner, so they don't look at computer screen all time as you described.

Then the computer stays off during that time.

Schools don't have enough staffs to monitor all computers so they use filter software or networking.

It can be done. Students don't need so much access to the internet at school.

It looks like you think all parents are perfect, that's not case.

I never said that.

Don't forget, I'm a parent and grandparent. I don't think any parents are perfect.

First line is sarcastic.

It is 21st Century - most students need have access to internet to do research, doing school assignment, homework, take test, digital book, etc. You and I graduated from HS with limited or no internet.

Alright, parenting job isn't easy, especially in digital age and kids need to be exposed to real world.

Yes they do tend to use the internet more these days but they still need parental supervision and be aware of what their kids are doing online... not just with software either because many kids are smart enough to find ways around those lil filters/blocks.

Pretty sure they are exposed to the real world whether or not they use the internet. TV, just looking out your door (relative to where you live), newspapers (there's still some out there), talking with friends.

Nope not an easy job. I like that my parents and my sister's family live near each other- helping in raising the two kids. Same with a friend of mine. She and her hubby help with the grandchild and will with any future grandchild as well as her step children (there's a reason for that too... but won't put that here).

I'm just an uncle- I don't know that I'm a big part of my nephew's or niece's life or not but some will say in nephew's eyes I am- as I've watched him grow up from a baby to now.

hi whatdidyousay! and everybody-
WDYS, am not surprised by article sadly....

as a kid I lived in an urban area and went to school with kids of various backgrounds, ethnicity, languages, etc. But we also lived in one of the most segregated cities - if not the most - in the country. My folks easily remember the days of "no Jews <etc> allowed". Currently my own synagogue is involved with interfaith/intercultural things. Exposure to people who are not like you, is important. I think one of the big things is parents modeling non-bias and open-ness, from a very early age. Sometimes kids just repeat things they hear or see without really knowing what those words or that way of way of phrasing something, says, or implies. Being able to see that and discuss is key, but people in general can be afraid to acknowledge their own bias or hatred. If they don't see it in themselves, they can't model the opposite for their kids.

But this doesn't seem to happen enough today to and it the parents that teach their kids to be Anti Semites , so having interfaith church service would be one way for adults to break down barriers and get pass their fear and ignorant . When I went to school in Maine a girl asked what religion I was and I told her I was Jewish . She said " She never seen on before" . OMG ! She thought we looked difference than other people , of course she seen Jewish people before , Jewish people lived in Maine too.
She was very ignorant about Jewish people and there are still people like her around . Ignorant lead to fear and this lead to hate and this lead to violent and this lead to Anti Semitism and to other 'Anti ' Black Etc ...

My daughter school in Berkeley , Ca. was very diverse , her group g/f were Muslin , Hispanic , Vietnamese , Catholic, Protestant and Blacks.
But when we moved back East things were so difference , and racist . My daughter was bullied for being Black . .
