lessons in tolerance

Seeds of Tolerance has the finalists of their video contest.

Among the entrants is "The Making of a Girl", a powerful view of the shaping of young girls that had me even more fearful of the views others place on girls in general and on my child in particular.

Also there is "We Belong", a young man's stand against homophobia in his rural school and how he found, unfortunately, another who faced his same situation. I thought of that when I came across this article about homophobia happening in Davis, California.
