IMMUNIZING AGAINST "SNAKE" BITES
IMMUNIZING OUR CHILDREN AND OURSELVES FROM "SNAKE" BITE
Truth reinforces our immune systems, that lies degrade.
In saying this, I am thinking about a white racist female school teacher in Florida, who had just who told her class of black students at the Carter G. Woodson Elementary School that they were "rats" in mentality. Rats. Insulting that hurts.
Truth reinforces. Lies degrade.
One may hope that the parents of these children will now renew their immune systems and their own, by loving reassurances, and rigorous evidence that they are not rats in mentation, nor descendants of rats in mentation, but divine gifts of God to the earth and to eternity.
The parents may do this by telling them who Carter G. Woodson was!
His book, THE MISEDUCATION OF THE NEGRO they should read with them, as part of their family-wide immunological reinforcement. Then the entire family will understand that their teacher is the true rat, a real liar, who was trying to destroy black lives in their formative period.
Families, churches, communities of these young children must not rest, since "snakes" in the grass are ever slithering about seeking such easy quarry, and similar unguarded prey.
