But, to the original post: I respectfully disagree. I think it is ridiculous to think that somehow things will end there. Kids who grow up to be adults who believe that all men and women are equal will be grown ups who truly question the inequalities in their society, and oppose them. They will not be able to dismiss a statistic on imprisoned African-Americans by saying “that’s the way they are”. They will know, because they were raised to know it, that there is nothing inherently different about black people. And therefore, they will know that there is something inherently wrong in a system that causes a disproportionately large number of black men to end up in prison.
It’s much more than not being racially discriminating as an individual, it’s about cultivating a natural aversion to discrimination everywhere, based on a real belief in the idea of equality and the basic sameness of all human beings.

So, yeah, if schools were to do ONE thing right about racial relations (and we can’t hope that they’ll do more than that), then this would be the best option.

The other three (because I’m sure you’re wondering) are responsibility, trustworthiness, and citizenship. The program (with clear conservative ideological underpinnings) is beyond cheesy, completely empty classroom time at best. Alfie Kohn (link below) calls it the “If it’s Tuesday, This Must be Honesty” approach, and that’s pretty much what I’ve seen in the local school. But it’s worth knowing about, because it’s everywhere in schools, YMCA programs, etc.
