        It's time we taught our children about their heritage; allowing them to explore different narratives and opening their minds to new experiences. Well done Jeanette!

        Absolutely correct. Teaching the culture and history of any country or nation is not about racism or prejudice. Its about accentuating the positives in one's country and thereby giving children the right foundation on their journey through life.
