I’m Not Alone in Thinking Fox Faux And Kilmeade a Fool

The Southern Poverty Law Center thinks so too.

Kilmeade owes a lot of people—roughly 1.2 billion Muslims—a large apology. Whether he gives one or not, his comments are a great way for teachers to address prejudice. Discuss what he said with your classes. See what your students think. Discuss the politicians and journalists who thrive on demonizing others. Discuss the ignorance and fear that gives their message an audience. And discuss the other groups in this country that put up with ugly stereotypes and why.

And then, tell them that if they want to keep the aluminum hat wearing people away, turn Fox News off.  With thanks to Irene Hahn on FB for telling me about it.
