The high school my kids graduated from recently completed a mural in the front entrance of their school. Artwork promoting diversity and acceptance. I. Love. It. Way to go MRSS!!
We often think of high school as the worst place to be as a teenager, for some forever feeling inadequate, etc., but when this (pictured) is seen and read every day can it change one’s perspective? Can it lift that cloud that hangs over some?
We need to know that school is the one safe place for many students. A place where they can be their authentic self, a place where the adults are their only allies. A place where friendships, clubs and teams help them feel like they belong and are part of a family. Nobody should only be loved and supported 8 am to 3 pm, 5 days a week, 10 months of a year. NOBODY.
Maybe instead of looking at someone and judging, we should educate ourselves and learn to accept all people who come across our path. Imagine how much better our world would be!
