Last evening while listening to the television about some of the ways in which some teachers are trying to bring home the world cup series to Winnipeg by having teams compete against each other, I was a little disappointed that teachers are promoting nationalism in children. I do not think it is healthy to reinforce allegiances to places, people or things in this life. The children who are growin up in Winnipeg are or will be Canadians and they are now part of a world culture where the earth is one country and mankind its citizens.
Supporting a country because your parents were born there or because it's your own race forms the root of racial discrimination and racial superiority. We ought to be expanding the minds of our young ones to be free of these artificial barriers and connections.
