The values we instill in our children now will shape the kind of adults they become and the communities they will lead. When students experience empathy, tolerance, and respect at a young age, they bring those lessons into their classrooms, friendships, and eventually their careers and families. By fostering these values today, we are planting the seeds for a more compassionate society, one in which the next generation will stand up against hate and create environments of dignity and understanding wherever they go.
