Raising Baby Bigots Response - Social Studies

In my opinion, I think that it was right for those children to get taken away from their parents. The children were being raised in an environment that will probably scar them emotionally. Taking the children away from their parents is probably the best move. If they stay in that house with those beliefs, then they will believe that hating somebody because of what their background is the right thing to do. We need to move forward and stop racism, but if those children stay in that environment, then they will grow up believing that, and when they have children, they will probably teach them what they are being taught right now by their parents, so it is just a circle that will not stop. If we intervene now and stop the cycle, then it will help stop racism. In reference to the Human Declaration of Human Rights, “Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself” . I think this human right also applies to children. The children have a right to be raised in a healthy environment, not one that is hurtful to the children’s mental health. If the children in question are put into a household that has certain values, then maybe it will help them see what their parents taught them was wrong.
