Kids don't know hate, but they get scared, and that fear is put in them from a very young age. It is not that when we become 18 or the day we become an adult that we start hating, no, you teach us and scare us from a very young age and that is why Abdullah and I started BTS (Beyond the Stigma) Club in our school.
I was also moved to make this club after the announcements to make changes in Ontario sex education curriculum as it is widely known, and Alberta deciding to take away the protections given to our LGBTQ+ community and also because of hate increasing in Canada by more than 50 percent.
Our club promotes Equity, Diversity & Inclusion.

Parents and governments the answer to the communication gap with kids (our future) is art. For kids art replaces words.
Parents give your kids a theme and tell them to make an art and then let them explain it to you. You will be amazed how much you will learn about your kids and you will also say to yourself "I didn't know this is what my kids were going through, or this is how they see the world."
Through art kids express their inspirations and fears. Art can tell you who kids idealize. Then governments should engage them to educate kids. Kyle Lowry can help many a kids to stay in schools especially kids from low income schools because there are many kids who idealize him and all these, who kids look up to should live a life too in a way that inspires kids to stay positive and believe in equity, diversity and inclusion.
