Marcel,
I agree with you:

*But* I think what you really have to teach them first is the attitude of
acceptance for something different. It translates so well for everything
they haven't yet experienced, and for things they have difficulty
transcending....like race issues, politcal reasonings, foods, and parents.
Discovery is a cool spray on a hot day, but the willingness to see from a
different perspective is a hard lesson learned.
I am not being condescending or negative here, just defining something I
passionately believe in!
Loving this thread,
Diane
