Rejuventation

I felt really let down by this section. It wasn't as "rejuvenating" as I would have hoped. That being said, my favorite story was #127 about Manie who gets teased in class and likes to draw. I found it encouraging that his teacher was willing to go with him to the Holocaust Memorial and convinced his parents to let him out of Canada, but at was really the end that got me. When Manie was in the boxcar and talked about his family and how they were racist, I can't imagine what his teacher was thinking. He/she was probably completely shocked that they didn't know that about Manie or his family. I definitely want to teach tolerance in my classroom, but where is the line when it comes to stepping on family beliefs?
