Anti-Oppressive Policy

[playfelt]

There is a Sesame Street book I have - not sure of the exact title but is something about Everyone is the same everyone is different. The gist of the story is that we all have eyes but they are different (colour, shape). We all have hair but it is different (colour, style, how it is worn)... The idea is to teach the children that while we all have a lot in common there are some things that are unique about others. We would do well to teach children the concept that these things are not wrong just different and that is a lesson they can take into the "real" world with them but for now it is something they can identify with. And it is lessons that fit easily into the lessons we are already doing.

For now focusing on a multicultural, one world, one voice, one hope sort of thing.
