Unlike Willa, the VT incident has not make me afraid to send my kids to school. Thank God! But I worry about living in country where we have so much and want even more, without realizing the destructive power of our society. I want my kids to view the world from a different perspective. How do you accomplish that?

My children are Asian. That's why I am scared right now. They are of Indian origin and actually have a Hispanic or an Arab look, but whenever there is some event involving racial violence, the comments and threats tend to pick up in their primarily caucasian populated schools.
That's why I fear for them. I do call the principals and multicultural liasons whenever something like this happens and ask them what they are doing to protect the minorities while the heat is up.
