Middle School students shout "Build That Wall!" during school lunch

Royal Oak Middle School students in Detroit shouted "Build that Wall!" at their peers of color.  A very courageous and thoughtful 12 year old discreetly recorded the event on her phone and sent the video to her mother, who shared it via social media.

These are children aged 11-13 who have heard this hateful language and rhetoric from their parents, at home.  

Progress generally requires what is called a generational shift.   Unfortunately, hate and prejudice is passed on just as easily.
