Tolerance can be learned. Intolerance can be unlearned.

 Everyone knows what it’s like to be an outsider. Everyone      knows personally what it means to be socially excluded.      This experience makes it easier to develop empathy.

 Prejudice and discrimination are often based in /      legitimized by institutions.

 Each form of oppression is different in both the amount of      institutional discrimination and persecution as well as in      the many and varied ways in which discrimination and      persecution work.

 We are not responsible for how we have been socialized      but we are responsible for what we do about it today.
