The fight on racial bias must begin in childhood, and it is the responsibility of teachers to inculcate democratic principles in their students, 1,000 teachers attending the annual conference of the New Jersey Education Association were told yesterday at the conference’s final session.
Teachers were urged to present constructive points of view on these issues, 1. The meaning of prejudice and the damage it does. 2. The mischief of color as the basis for discrimination and judgment. 3. The identity of the blood of all people. 4. The equality of races. 5. Respect for all human personality and the infinite significance of every human soul. 6. The universal inter-play of heredity and environment.
