Cause and Effect:
A Student's Religious Diversity Journeys Story
|
by Ruby Kellman
In my 6th grade year, there was an incredibly stupid and offensive joke that went a little something like "is it because I'm Jewish?" Say you cut someone in the lunch line, they would say, "is it 'cause I'm Jewish?", or bumped into them in the hallway, "is it 'cause I'm Jewish?" Mind you none of these kids were Jewish. This 'joke' continued and mutated through all kinds of things, like Muslim or atheist, or even black at one point. Most people didn't say a word about it. Click here to read Ruby's story
