Who will teach you to hate? Against a background of joyful, innocent babies, a heartfelt narrative unfolds about whether others will choose to teach tolerance or hatred to these newest of human beings. Will they be accepted as they are or will they be ridiculed for the shape of their body or the color of their face? Will we teach them to speak their minds or will we silence their questions?  Who will teach you to hate? is one of three videos that are now part of our Words and Violence book here on Voices Education Project. 

Each of the videos was produced by PowerSplash Project, a diverse organization of writers, producers and entrepreneurs, who have generously allowed us to publish each video in its entirety. The second offering, Looking Outside Yourself, recalls how a man's curiosity as a child helped him to meet many firends of every size, shape and color.  The third, And It Gets Better, is addressed to anyone feeling overwhelmed, bullied, or depressed.  All of three selections are about the human spirit, the myriad of differences that each of us bring to the table, and about the way we treat each other.  They are also about hope and encouragement--hope that those of us in despair can hold-on to see the goodness aroundus, and an urging to all of us to think and act compassionately towards those we meet and with whom we interact.
